This is the very first song I wrote back in 1997 in my freshman year in high school. It is about my dream of the new Jerusalem (the city of Zion) in the book of revelation.
lyrics
1st verse
I once wondered in an unknown land. In my mind I could see it, hand in hand. I saw a glorious light, Shining down as a star in the sky, Piercing through the darkness of the blackest night. A stairway to heaven appeared before my eyes.
Refrain: Marching up the path to Zion, In that moment I saw I was moving on. A gentle breeze in the air, I felt the wonder of gladness, With the clouds around me, In the Dream of Zion.
2nd Verse: To the moment I have been waiting for, Marching up the stairway to heaven's door. Walking along the golden road, The truth revealed was widely known. More and more I could see in the dream, The city of Zion as a bright gleam.
Bridge: When I saw I was on top of the clouds, I could hear the angels singing aloud, Beautiful music and voices of worship. And the higher I went the more I could hear. I heard the thunder a roar, As the trumpet sounded from the east.
3rd Verse: Looking upon the earth beneath, I could see the things I could not believe, The oceans were no more, Upon the new Earth that is in store. I walked through gates of pearl through heaven's door. The everlasting kingdom reigns for ever more.
