Number Song

Four thousand matary men
Sang a song of peace today
And three thousand
Mothers gave birth
To a child of the Sun

And three hundred sixty five days
Were lost in the wink of an eye

And five thousand nations
Built bridges over
Barbed wire and stone

And thirteen disciples
Deciphered the cracks in the sidewalk
Nine hundred eleven red
Telephones rang all at once

And three year old children
Could count all the stars
On their fingers
And one hundred seventeen
Rings grew on every tree

(Ten million dreamers)
(All dreaming in color)
(Remember their nightmares)
(As if they were fun)
Ten million dreamers
All dreaming in order
Reciting a tale that
Was second to none

And six hundred sixty six
Churches turned into a parking lot
For nine hundred ninety nine
Ferris wheels all in a row

And five hundred fifty five
Cities turned into cathedrals
And all of the calendars
Read one

(Ten million dreamers)
(All dreaming in color)
(Remember their nightmares)
(As if they were fun)
Remember their nightmares
(Ten million dreamers)
(All dreaming in order)
(Reciting a tale that)
(Was second to none)
Ten million schemers
Made us all believers
The circles unbroken
The genesis done

On a day light
Reached the earth

From
Ten billion nine hundred
Eighty four million
Two hundred and
Sixty two thousand and one
Light years
Away
