Eulogy Of A Dream Lyrics

If it were all to end at this very minute

I would let myself gently into the infinite

For I will have lived

Perhaps like a fool

But even then to the fullest

And I will have loved

Perhaps like a loser

But even then to no limit

I will have done it

I will have dreamt and I will have lived it

I will have felt and I will have fought for it

Having been gifted

I will have given it my all

Having known purpose

I will have poured myself over in response to the call

I will have met with meaning

And immersed myself in its physics

I will have met with misery

And sat with the demons I worked out a way to live with

I will have known and I will have done

Having done I will have become

I will have dove and I will drowned

Having drowned I will have emerged with new lungs

I will have believed

And in believing will have risked it all

And all of it will have lost

Having lost will have won the heart of wonder

And with it in my hand,

Will enter into the heart of heaven

Heaven I will enter for I will have known beauty

Beauty I will have held in my hands and hurled myself into its majesty

I will have coaxed myself into an uncalculated courage

And having dared will have died unafraid of the plummet

I will have done more than just survive

I will have surmounted the mountain of my misery through the magic of these rhymes

I will have reached where no version of me could ever have reached towards the sublime

I will have sung whatever song surged through me while I sat at the summit

I will have preached the gospel I was sent with at the top of my lungs

Before the gathering of the crowds

All the way to when the masses were abound

And still when they dwindled

And left me speaking to hollow ground

I will have feared

And I will have folded

I will have fought

And I will have fallen

I will have basked

In the radiance

Of the rain's dance on my eye

I will have marked

The very fabric of time with my scars

And watched them turn into stars

And like a star I will have shot across the sky to my plummet

In the name of an absurd wish

Granted or unrealised

I will have writhed

I will have arrived

At being

And I will have done so beautifully

Just as gloriously

I should wish to lie
