The smoke it rose, to blot the sun
But the Light shone through, it would not be overcome
I saw the raised, hostile hand of the adulterated
Engulfed by the Sincere and obliterated
I heard the Mother’s loving song ignite the spark
I heard the Child’s joyful laughter burn away the dark
I saw the grass and flowers bloom, devouring the depraved
Singing out the Word that liberated the enslaved
I saw the hollow soul cast away the lies that it had dreamed
I saw the whole human race unshackled and redeemed
I felt my place in the presence of the vast triumphant throng
I heard the Triumph of Innocence, manifested in their song
“Universal Truth for which my soul is yearning
Instruct us in the ways of Higher Learning.”
