I feel I'm at the waking stage
I'm leaving all my fiery rage
I'm climbing far above the clouds
Of smoke that used to so enshroud
My thinking with its numbing fog
My mind will not at all be bogged
With love that's smoked with “If you do…
I'll love you if…I'll love you true”
I have to love with all I am
A thinking feeling Jesus man
I'll climb above the smoky haze
That filters into smoky days
That's filled with minutes of a phase
Of temporary mental craze
I'll change the smoky hate-filled mist
Into a loving peace-filled kiss
I'll change the wispy thread of fear
Into a faith-filled feeling here
I'll move the smoky mountain now
And think of God—Yes! Anyhow
And lo—the mountain's gone from me
Tossed into the churning sea
Of God Who's dwelling deep in me
I am one with all that's free
Smoke has got no hold on me
God is all that's meant to be
I'll climb above this dragon's lair
And feel God's peace and love right here
