From the recording Second Sight
Lyrics
The Gift
(Lyrics: D. Echnoz, M. Novak, C. Webster Music: D. Echnoz)
When the visions come
MICAH SEES the other children in the refugee camps
He sees but doesn’t understand
They’re fighting for the table scraps of presidents and kings
They fight against themselves, the blood of children in the sand.
MICAH DREAMS and sees what others never will
Revelations that show him the way
He saw the red liquid violence and boiling seas
3 eruptions in a single day
Pre Chorus:
When the visions come, he dreams of what will be
When the visions come, he knows that what he sees
Is the way that it will be.
Chorus:
He has the gift
The gift of 2nd sight
He dreams the dreams
He fills the darkness with his light
The prophet knows
That what he sees is true
He has the gift
The gift of 2nd sight
MICAH SEES and grows his power in the refugee camps
He rises in the ranks of the hungry, sick and weak
His disciples pledge their loyalty and guard him in the camps
They know that he’s the leader that they seek
When the visions come
When the visions come
MICAH DREAMS he sees what others never will
Revelations that show him the way
He sees the bullets and the bombs, 3 kings and presidents
He sees the bullets and the bombs assassinate
When the visions come, he dreams of what will be
When the visions come, he know that what he sees
Is the way that it will be
Chorus:
He has the gift
The gift of 2nd sight
He dreams the dreams
He fills the darkness with his light
The prophet knows
The prophet knows that what he sees is true
He has the gift
The gift of 2nd sight
Bridge:
The Visions that I have show the way that things will be
I never wanted all this fame and notoriety
MICAH SEES a hundred days ahead a thousand ways to fall
The bullets and the bombs volcanoes have come true
He’s frightened by his thoughts of what’s about to come
His dreams are many but only the visions break through.
When the visions come, It’s the way it’s gonna be
Chorus (2x)
