Evening Twinkling Bareback Skies

The moon, its shadows cast upon me
Knights in armor, dragons 'round me
But soon You, Jesus, fill my days
As more and more to You I praise
                      And suddenly
     Those visions are gone
     Things are right-nothing is wrong
     I'm not a part of a distant world
     But in You, my thoughts unfurled
     And I belong to the here and now world
     Yes, I belong to the here and now world

But people cast a feeling 'round me
Quite a few feel the earth is sadly
Moving in an era badly-and nothing will remain
     These people's minds are a long time back
     They wear thick lenses coated black
     That never let Your light rays back
     Into their brains where light has lacked
     For years on end-it is a fact

But I hear these people moving forward
Upward, outward, onward toward
Majestic mountains reflecting the sun
Toward majestic mountains that, through You, they are one
     They're climbing the mountains and perching aloft
     And taking their thick stained glasses off
     And looking at the sky with eager young eyes
     And You, Lord, are making them realize
     Just how You're moving behind their eyes
     Helping them marvel at the stars that rise
     In evening twinkling bareback skies
     In evening twinkling bareback skies
