Distant Vision Kansas

On a night as I lay sleeping
In a dream I saw the shore
Of a distant land where promise lay in wait
And I heard the sound of voices
Of a million hungry souls
Now it comes to me to lead them to the gate

But I am just a man
Not worthy of this plan
With a strength that's not my own
I must rise

And I...will bear the light
(and the vision leads me onward)
That blind....men have their sight
I'd sail a thousand seas to make it so

To the Kings I gave the mission
In the hope that they would share
In the joy of setting countless captives free
But the lust for gold and power
Is luring us away
From a calling that began in purity

And I'm still just a man
Not worthy of this plan
With a strength that's not my own
I must rise
