Across

Across the Jordan is where the miracle lies
Across the sea, where the tempest is gone
There we all envisioned to be
To roll and roll without worries

"We don't have a choice"
Are words of encouragement for life pursuit
What if we do have a choice
Then, the choice itself is also a choice

The earth is but a planet
A planet to other planets:
A planet of consciousness-while awake
A planet of unconsciousness-while we sleep

Across is a way too long
Ever lingering are its cause to keep the go
Inflicted with a cross to carry
A new beginning from the end

We're always crossing
Crossing to get to across
Against all odds by the wayside
The goal is to get to the other side

We could walk in groups to across
Only few might get there
Different paths we may take
Breakdown is inevitable

Take your emblem of life
Shield with your source of strength
Sail with the flag of glory
And when you get to across, incense to the lost and sing for Victory
