KANSAS lyrics - Distant Vision

On a night as I lay sleeping, in a dream I saw the shore of a distant land where

Promise lay in wait

And I heard the sound of voices of a million hungry souls

Now it comes to me to lead them to the gate



But I am just a man, not worthy of this plan

With a strength that's not my own,

Imust rise



And I...will bear the light, (and the vision leads me onward)

That blind....men have their sight

I'd sail a thousand seas to make it so



To the Kings I gave the mission, in the hope that they would share

In the joy of setting countless captives free

But the lust for Gold and power, is luring us away

From a calling that began in purity



And 'm still just a man, not worthy of this plan

With a strength that's not my own, I must rise



Now a tempest rages in my heart, as this fever furies on

Soon these islands promise rest and hope, my answers wait beyond their shore

Dream on...



Hungry eyes are standing on the sand, they beckon us to bring the tide

Sovereign hand must hold me now, I plead with you

Be my soloace and my guide... by my side



And I...will walk with you

On the shores of the land ofpromise

That blind... men see you too

I'd sail a thousand seas to make it so
