Oh Ruby Jean, last night I dreamed I was runnin` somewhere beyond the stars.
I called out to you, and you answered softly.
You are the children`s eyes, and I`m the days gone by.
Oh Ruby Jean, it doesn`t seem like a long, long time, since we were born again.
Into the dazzling light, uniting black and white.
You are the rich brown earth, and I`m the flowers that grow.

We`ll have children (Lua), of the Kingdom (Joshua).
They won`t be torn by war, nor will they
Kill or hate, or hestitate, to love. Justice.

Oh Billie Lee, it`s destiny that we meet again, here on this earthly plain.
I`ll see all the worlds with you, but you`ll have to help me through.
You are the straight and narrow path, and I`m the wayfayer.
Oh Billie Lee, we shall be free in the years to come, to help build the Promised Land.
We`ll go where the day springs run, together and live as one.
He is the object of our longing, and we`re His creation.

We`ll have children (Lua), of the Kingdom (Joshua).
They won`t be torn by war, nor will they
Kill or hate, or hestitate, to love. Justice.
