God in the Street

Future is dancing in the cloudy sky
Pregnant with heavy rain
Hearts melting in prayers for all
Eyes are oozing with bright murmurs

Each one is happy, the emperor and the cobbler
All have come down to the street
Standing shoulder to shoulder
The sea of life is deep blue today.

Wooden images are more than living
Inspiring all on the way to Swargadara
An ancient city has a soul
Awake and deep like mountain streams
