[00:10.854]I was visited by the power and the glory
[00:13.649]I was visited by a majestic hymn
[00:16.575]Great bolts of lightning lighting up the sky
[00:19.474]electricity flowing through my veins
[00:22.034]I was captured by a larger moment
[00:24.673]I was seized by divinity's hot breath
[00:27.755]Gorged like a lion on experience
[00:30.498]powerful from life
[00:33.006]I wanted all of it, all of it, all of it
[00:37.159]Not some of it, all of it, all of it
[00:41.495]Not just some of it, but all of it
[00:43.794]
[00:46.328]I saw a man turn into a bird
[00:48.287]I saw a bird turn into a tiger
[00:51.004]I saw a man hang from a cliff by the tips of his toes
[00:53.904]in the jungles of the Amazon
[00:56.594]I saw a man put a red hot needle through his eye
[00:59.076]turn into a crow and fly through the trees
[01:02.367]Swallow hot coals and breathe out flames
[01:04.980]and I wanted this to happen to me
[01:08.088]oh I wanted this to happen to me
[01:10.648]I wanted all of it, all of it, all of it
[01:14.488]Not some of it, all of it, all of it
[01:18.668]Not just some of it, but all of it
[01:20.000]
[01:22.000](Consider this) We saw the moon vanish into his pocket
[01:25.747]we saw the stars disappear from sight
[01:28.333]We saw him walk across water into the sun
[01:31.389]while bathed in eternal light
[01:33.949]We spewed out questions waiting for answers
[01:36.666]creating legends, religions and myths
[01:39.905]Books, stories, movies and plays
[01:42.570]all trying to explain this
[01:45.286]I wanted all of it, all of it, all of it
[01:48.917]Not some of it, all of it, all of it
[01:53.071]Not just some of it, but all of it
[01:55.997]
[01:57.486]I saw a great man turn into a little child
[02:00.568]the cancer reduce him to dust
[02:03.337]His voice growing weak as he fought for his life
[02:05.923]with a bravery stronger than lust
[02:08.588]I saw isotopes introduced into his lungs
[02:11.540]trying to stop the cancerous spread
[02:14.178]And it made me think of "Leda And The Swan"
[02:17.469]and gold being made from lead
[02:19.742]The same power that burned Hiroshima
[02:22.694]causing three legged babies and death
[02:25.620]Shrunk to the size of a nickel
[02:28.284]to help him regain his breath
[02:30.896]And I was struck by the power and the glory
[02:33.770]And I was visited by a majestic hymn
[02:36.669]Great bolts of lightning lighting up the veins
[02:39.255]as the radiation flowed through him
[02:42.077]I wanted all of it, all of it, all of it
[02:45.812]Not just some of it, all of it, all of it
[02:50.279]Not some of it, but all of it
