in the truest gait

against the sky we measure one more dream
so much will happen before we may sleep
our choice we know is to receive the cream

we watch with happiness the parting gleam
knowing that much is hidden in the deep
against the sky we measure one more dream

so many hours before the newer beam
across the sky we watch each planet creep
our choice we know is to receive the cream

we wait the going out of this regime
in knowledge of what each servant will reap
against the sky we measure one more dream

what was to be is not what comes to seem
no mountain is as high nor slope as steep
our choice we know is to receive the cream

the hottest gospel will not make you scream
that is the secret which we have to keep
against the sky we measure one more dream
our choice we know is to receive the cream
