(Text on chair)

In this, My World,
I say who comes and goes,
who crosses where, who stays.
I am the Ruler, you...the ruled,
no point between us fathomable.

Tithes allegiance duty, I’ll have my way,
you do not count
except to make me real.

(Text on platform)

Gossamer whispers angel’s hair
kisses and caring take you there
there to a land where many are one
singing and dancing under the sun
bringing together all parts that are true
coming from me and coming from you.
