Aladdin's Lamp

Just beside the door
 the bold and certain hand
 That turned the dragons trembled
 He touched the Holy Lamp
 and faintly saw his feet
 And just beside the door,
 his pure uncertain tears
 The burden fell so tender
 and in the darkest night a
 rose grew by his feet
 Stand beside me now,
 I've been in your place
 And you've been in mine
 And the only difference
 is our space and time
 And the only light is
 somehow in the lamp
 That's at your feet
 Why can't you see?
 But ain't it high,
 ain't holy when you see?
 And it's just times when
 I'm weary worries me
 Don't you know how Aladdin's
 lamp guards the night
 Ten thousand candles beam
 The silver stream you're
 searching for
 Oh, friend, the words are true
 I want to offer them to you.
