Days are short and time so dear

So very much remains to be done

It's time to speak of one so near

'Til all hearts have been won

(Chorus)

The day is coming when men will look to the skies

The consummation of all who realize

We are waiting for ground zero

The wall is high beyond is much to find

A barrier we built so long ago

With fearful hope and a faith that is not blind

From clouds of joy we'll see the depths below

(Chorus)

Across the sea and far away

The eyes of all the world await the Passion Play

The final act at last begun

The new is born the old is bound to pass away

No more the turn of the pages

And now the hope of the ages

For all the bondage is broken, all who see

The oracles, the prophets of the past

The miracle of knowledge was revealed

The plan was laid upon a strong foundation

So long ago the future was sealed

(Chorus)
