Man, just a grain of sand on an island In a sea of stars I heard the call to come home And sweetly, yet urgent as A mother calls to her wayward son One who in darkness lingers Lacking faith I stood rooted As the darkness wrapped me round she sang If the stars should then appear One night in a thousand years How would man believe and adore If the light of the city of God was shown there Would they believe? If the stars should then appear One night in a thousand years This recurring theme beckoned A song snatched in fragments I heard Uplifted into infinite space All as one The one is all, yes the one, the one is all On the distant line of the horizon man beholds Light of his heart as he looks to the sky He need not question how or why The perpetual presence of the Higher Mind In His life, the sublime and the power divine I watched the morning star burning brightly I could sense its passion reflected there In the fire of your eyes If the stars should then appear One night in a thousand years How would man believe and adore If the light of the city of God was shown there Would they believe? If the stars should then appear One night in a thousand years The scope of imagination Searching the dark for a way Just look to the multitude overhead All point to the one The one is all The power divine Light of the higher mind Love, the power divine Light of the higher mind Love, the power divine Yet man still doubts his destiny with God
