Gil Scott-heron

Let me see what life will bring
Let me see a further thing
Let me see the kings of all
Re-crown themselves
Let me see the lost Who found themselves
Let me make a new sunrise
Catch them sleeping by surprise
Wake the giant up and see
Him cast off fear
We're gonna make the wall of
Ignorance disappear
Let me have a resting place
Looking, looking from the hedge of space
I might see the planet turning
Turning, turning, turning, turning, turning
Around themselves. Hey, now
Maybe see the spirits burning
Burning, burning, burning, burning, burning
Around themselves
Let me lift the veil
And see, see him smile
See my Essex smile
