Additional Lyrics

We all know sometimes life's hates and troubles

Can make you wish you were born in another time and space.
But you can bet your life times that and twice its double
That God knew exactly where He wanted you to be placed.
So make sure when you say you're in it but not of it
You're not helping to make this earth a place sometimes called Hell.
Change your words into truths and then change that truth into love,
And maybe our children's grandchildren
And their great-great grandchildren will tell.

(Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky.)

(Until the ocean covers every mountain high.)
(Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea.)
(Until we dream oflife and life becomes a dream.)
(Until the day is night and night becomes the day.)
(Until the trees and seas just up and fly away.)
(Until the day that 8x8x8 is 4.)
(Until the day that is day that are no more.)
(Until the day the earth starts turning right to left.)
(Until the earth just for the sun denies itself.)
(Until dear Mother Nature says her work is through.)
(Until the day that you are me and I am you.)
Repeat ad lib.
