The day the Circus of Heaven came to town

Local folks lined the streets in a Midwestern town

Waiting anxiously for the parade to begin all round

Ort the very last day



A Unicorn headed the Mystical way

Surrounded by what seemed a thousand golden angels at play

Behind were Centaurs, elves, bright falries all in colours of Jade

On the very final day



Forwhat seemed only just a moment in time

Seven solemri flying silvered regal horses rode b

Seven golden charlots in tow, a wonder to beh2

The Seven Lords of the Mountains of time

There then arose where nothing really stood there before

A giant tent rising orte thousand feet high from the floor

Towns people flocked inside with their eyes all amazed

To greet the Seventh Lord of the Seventh age

A fanfare rang out in an incredible sound

Bringing out the strangest visions perfect harmony round

Any dreams he asked would they like to have seen

From historical or mythical scenes



Then there above their heads just as vivid as life

Each vision transported in multitudes inventing light

Grecian galleons, The Sack of Troy, to the Gardens of Babylon

A play of millions roared along

The gigantic dreams of Alexander the Great

Civil wars where brothers fought and killed their friendship in hate

All seen by Zeus performing sceries of the magical way

The day the circus came to town



Outside great animals as tame as the trees

Angels high in starlight dancing streets

Tuning their colours with indigo and gold

Dropping violet, red and emerald snow

As the circus finally changed its invisible course

A new world to be found



On the dreamy ground we walked upon

turned to my son arid said

Was that something beautiful, amazing, wonderful, extraordinary beautiful?"



"Oh! it was OK!! But there were no clowns, no tigers, lion candy-floss, toffee apples, no clowns."
