 I was visited by the power and the glory
 I was visited by a majestic hymn
 Great bolts of lightning
 Lighting up the sky
 Electricity flowing through my veins
 I was captured by a larger moment
 I was seized by divinity's hot breath
 Gorged like a lion on experience
 Powerful from life
 I wanted all of it
 Not some of it

 I saw a man turn into a bird
 I saw a bird turn into a tiger
 I saw a man hang from a cliff by the tips of his toes
 In the jungles of the Amazon
 I saw a man put a red hot needle through his eye
 Turn into a crow, and fly through the trees
 Swallow hot coals, and breathe out flames
 And I wanted this to happen to me
 I wanted all of it

 We saw the moon vanish into his pocket
 We saw the stars disappear from sight
 We saw him walk across water into the sun
 While bathed in eternal light
 We spewed out questions, waiting for answers
 Creating legends, religions, and myths
 Books, stories, movies, and plays
 All trying to explain this
 I wanted all of it

 I saw a great man turn into a little child
 The cancer reduced him to dust
 His voice growing weak as he fought for his life
 With a bravery few men know
 I saw isotopes introduced into his lungs
 Trying to stop the cancerous spread
 And it made me think of Leda and The Swan
 And gold being made from lead
 The same power that burned Hiroshima
 Causing three-legged babies and death
 Shrunk to the size of a nickel
 To help him regain his breath
 And I was struck by the power and the glory
 I was visited by a majestic Him
 Great bolts of lightning, lighting up the sky
 As the radiation flowed through him
 He wanted all of it
 Not some of it
