| I met a Cosmic Cowboy and He’s ridin' the starry range
|
| He’s a supernatural plowboy. |
| He’s dressed up kind of strange
|
| At first you know, I didn’t even see him; |
| Hey, I was out there on the run
|
| But that old hat that He’s wearin', it’s shinin' brighter than the sun
|
| And when my eyes adjusted, to the flashin' of his smile
|
| Oh, I saw his invitation. |
| He said, «Come on, Barry, we’ll go ridin' for awhile»
|
| (Cowboy of the light, shootin' rainbows through the night)
|
| And you know we rode along together, for more than half a day
|
| Right through the changin' weather; |
| the sky was all turning gray
|
| And the chilly winds were blowin', and the cold was cutting deep
|
| Then it started snowing, the trail was gettin' steep
|
| I was just about to turn around, and head on back down the way we came
|
| Somehow without a sound, I heard Him call my name
|
| (Cowboy of the light, shootin' rainbows through the night)
|
| Lookin' up, I saw we was high up on this ridge
|
| He took me by the arm; |
| lead me right over to the edge
|
| I was so scared I couldn’t find a single word to say
|
| I mean, there’s 10,000 feet of empty air, and it’s just about an inch away
|
| But a million miles was out beyond the waving of his hand
|
| And I was looking through His eyes, right in through another land
|
| (Cowboy of the light, shootin' rainbows through the night)
|
| He said; |
| «This is my Father’s ranch, just as far as you can see
|
| He made it out of nothing; |
| every branch, every tree
|
| The stars, and the mountains, the rivers, the streams
|
| The oceans and the fountains, and the valley of your dreams
|
| I know that place you’re lookin' for, that place you long to be
|
| Truth is, I’m the only door, you’re going to have to pass right through me
|
| Bendin' back I tipped my hat so I could look Him in the eye
|
| He just smiled and gave me confidence. |
| He said; |
| «Go ahead and try»
|
| Well, it was now or never, and I knew I had to start
|
| So I took that step and I went fallin', straight in through His heart
|
| The first thing that I noticed, coming out the other side
|
| All my fears had vanished. |
| Jesus taught me how to fly
|
| (Cowboy of the light, shooting rainbows through the night)
|
| There’s a Cosmic cowboy, and he rides the starry range
|
| He’s a supernatural plowboy, and he is dressed up kind of strange
|
| To think I nearly missed Him, being out there on the run
|
| Ah, but that old hat that he’s wearin', its shinning brighter than the sun
|
| And when my eyes adjusted, to the flashin' of His smile
|
| Hey, I saw his invitation. |
| He said; |
| «Come on, Barry, we’ll go ridin' for awhile»
