Days are short and time so dear So very much remains to be done It's time to speak of one so near 'Til all hearts have been won (Chorus) The day is coming when men will look to the skies The consummation of all who realize We are waiting for ground zero The wall is high beyond is much to find A barrier we built so long ago With fearful hope and a faith that is not blind From clouds of joy we'll see the depths below (Chorus) Across the sea and far away The eyes of all the world await the Passion Play The final act at last begun The new is born the old is bound to pass away No more the turn of the pages And now the hope of the ages For all the bondage is broken, all who see The oracles, the prophets of the past The miracle of knowledge was revealed The plan was laid upon a strong foundation So long ago the future was sealed (Chorus)
