[Verse 1 Gene Eugene] The ground opened up, and you were hurled to ruin The fabric of the earth just ripped in two You were famous and beautiful, commanding the nations But you were bloodied and battered before the day was through [Verse 2 Derri Daugherty] Youre like some great dead planet scarred by rifts, ruts, and cracks From all the mighty collisions and the knives in your back [Gene Eugene and Derri Daugherty] Still theres ambrosia on your surface and manna for the hungry And food for the beggar and the poor for your money, yeah [Chorus] You will be brilliant, you will be brilliant A reflection of the sun above You will be brilliant, you will be brilliant Predestined for the sweet work of love [Verse 3 Terry Taylor] Your light has been extinguished, and war has scorched your earth Theres frozen death on the equator, and some beast is giving birth There is argon and neon and fire in your hair Your blood is methane and ammonia, your soul is tumult and despair [Verse 2 Mike Roe] Youre like some great dying planet scarred by rifts, ruts, and cracks From all the mighty collisions and the knives in your back [Terry Taylor and Mike Roe] Still theres ambrosia on your surface and manna for the hungry And food for the beggar and the poor for your money, yeah [Chorus] You will be brilliant, you will be brilliant A reflection of the sun above You will be brilliant, you will be brilliant Predestined for the sweet work of love [Bridge Terry Taylor] Maybe not today, but you will find a way And shine like the light of the world Youre thinking that youre through, but I believe that you will Shine like the light of the world [Guitar Solo] [Verse 4 Derri Daugherty] Who told you Jesus was rich man, that he stayed in the best hotels? Who sold you living water then put poison in your wells? [Gene Eugene] No, your wealth will never save you, cant fill a river thats run dry You cant bribe a camel to go through a needles eye [Verse 2 Terry Taylor] Youre gonna be some great dying planet full of rifts, ruts, and cracks From all the mighty collisions and the knives in your back [Terry Taylor and Mike Roe] Still theres ambrosia on your surface and manna for the hungry And food for the beggar and the poor for your money, yeah [Chorus] You will be brilliant, you will be brilliant A reflection of the sun above You will be brilliant, you will be brilliant Predestined for the sweet work of love [Chorus] Yeah, you will be brilliant, you will be brilliant A reflection of the sun above You will be brilliant, you will be brilliant Predestined for the sweet work of love Predestined for the sweet work of love Predestined for the sweet work of love [Guitar Solo]
