I've seen a river flow upstream and swallows flying north
I've seen a rich man share with the poor and a poor man know his worth
I've seen love in a torturer's eye, seen broken bones mend on the wheel
I've seen a servant return home and before him his master kneel

I've seen a mother rape her son and a daughter kill her father
I've seen a priest confess to a whore and a jailer set free by his prisoner
I've seen the moon overtake the sun and the evening star rise in the morning
I've seen insects devour a kingdom and lions heed a warning

I've seen a child lead an army and I've seen dead men weep
I've seen elephants in mourning and heard monkeys speak
I've seen snow fall in the desert and the sea set on fire
I've seen a dead tree sprout leaves and bones rise from a pyre
