Mysteries unfolding quickly before my eyes
In a way I saw the world in one night
Without even leaving
Without even leaving the room

Golden cymbals catching light
The flowing veils of dancers in the night
Put me in a swoon

Beating drums and violins so mystical and freeing
These things that I'm seeing
They're so wonderful

Oh the world is such a big place
And you have redeemed it
You have redeemed it
No reason to be afraid
You have redeemed it
You have redeemed us all

Culture after culture flash before my eyes
The semi-closed mind is now evident

Help me to remember this world is yours
You gave your life to bring the wayward back to you
The wayward back to you

Oh the world is such a big place
And you have redeemed it
You have redeemed it
No reason to be afraid
You have redeemed it
You have redeemed us all
