World to Come

I'm sitting by a lake
 But it's not of this Earth
 The water is so clear
 And the birds are alive
 A mirror for the sky
 All they see themselves and fly away
 ♪
 I'm sitting by a lake
 The universe is alive
 I lay down by the river-flow
 It's a river of stars
 I'm living by the ocean
 It's an ocean of light
 How do you call this place around?
 It's a world that I once saw in a dream
 ♪
 Will you please tell me now
 If I'm dead or alive?
 Landscapes so bright all around
 It's a city of light
 Were, who, when, and why?
 
 I think therefore I am
 I feel like I know this land
 But it must be so far away
 ♪
 This world is life, this clouds-and-wonders
 Is all I need, and it will never go
 You say it's lost, I don't believe it
 This is my vision we can never know
 ♪
 This is the Earth, but ages after
 I know the world will overcome its pain
 The simple fact, I dream about it
 Already makes it happen in the rain
 ♪
 It's right in front, but you don't face it
 I'm dedicated all my life in me
 And made of light, our sun is growing
 Like in the heart of some of us, I pray
 And other lands you will discover
 This form of life is not the only one
 I was a child, and I just knew it
 And now I know the vision came alive
