The stage will be set. The mountains made flat.
The valley will touch the sky.
The stars will be still. The moon will be filled.
The angels will sing a lullaby
Chorus:
For the first shall be last, and the last shall be first.
And the children will say this is your day.
For the poor will inherit the earth, the meek they will give birth
To the kingdom, the kingdom--
Parousia.
The thief will break in; steal away all my sin
And leave nothing behind.
For the choice will be made; the path will be straight.
Who could ever be denied?
Ending:
For the first shall be last, and the last shall be first.
And the children will say this is your day.
