[Verse 1]
I was [C]visited
by the power and the glory
I was [F]visited by a majestic hymn
[C]Great bolts of lightning
Lighting up the sky
[F]Electricity flowing through my veins
[C]I was captured by a larger momen[F]t
I was [C]seized by divinity's hot [F]breath
[C]Gorged like a lion on experien[F]ce
[C]Powerful from [F]life[Eb]
I wanted all of [F]it
Not [Eb]some [F]of [C]it
I saw a man turn into [F]a bird
I saw a bird turn into a tiger
[C]I saw a man hang from a
cliff by the tips of his toes
[F]In the jungles of the Amazon
I saw a [C]man put a red hot
needle [F]through his eye
Turn into [C]a crow,
and fly through [F]the trees
[C]Swallow hot coals,
and [F]breathe out flames
And I [C]wanted [F]this [Eb]to[F][Eb]
[F]happen [C]to me
We saw the moon vanish into his pocket
[F]We saw the stars disappear from sight
[C]We saw him walk across
water into the sun
While [F]bathed in eternal light
We spewed out ques[C]tions,
waiting for [F]answers
Creating [C]legends, religions,
[F]and myths[C]
Books, stories, [F]movies, and plays
All [C]trying to explain [F]this
[Eb]I sa[F]w a[Eb][F]
[C]great man turn
into a little child
[F]The cancer reduced him to dust
His [C]voice growing weak as
he fought for his life
With a [F]bravery few men know
I saw [C]isotopes introduced
into his lung[F]s
Trying [C]to stop the cancerous [F]spread
And it [C]made me think of
Leda [F]and The Swan
And [C]gold being made from [F]lead
The same [C]power that burned Hiroshima
Caus[F]ing three-legged babies
babies and death
[C]Shrunk to the size of a nickel
To [F]help him regain his breath
And I [C]was struck by
the power and the [F]glory
I was vis[C]ited by a majestic [F]Him
[C]Great bolts of lightning, lighting up [F]the sky
As the [C]radiation flowed through [F]him
[Eb]He wanted all of it
Not some of [F]it
