[Verse 1]
C7 I was visited by the power and the glory F7 I was visited by a majestic hymn C7 Great bolts of lightning lighting up the sky F7 electricity flowing through my veins C7 I was captured by a larger moment F7 I was seized by divinity's hot breath C7 Gorged like a lion on experience F7 powerful from life
[Chorus]
D# (I wanted all of it, all of it, all of it) F All of it D# (Not just some of it, all of it, all of it) F All of it
[Verse 2]
C7 I saw a man turn into a bird F7 I saw a bird turn into a tiger C7 I saw a man hang from a cliff by the tips of his toes F7 in the jungles of the Amazon C7 I saw a man put a redhot needle through his eye F7 turn into a crow and fly through the trees C7 Swallow hot coals and breathe out flames F7 and I wanted this to happen to me
[Chorus]
D# (I wanted all of it, all of it, all of it) F All of it D# (Not just some of it, all of it, all of it) F Not some of it
[Verse 3]
C7 We saw the moon vanish into his pocket F7 we saw the stars disappear from sight C7 We saw him walk across water into the sun F7 while bathed in eternal light C7 We spewed out questions waiting for answers F7 creating legends, religions and myths C7 Books, stories, movies and plays F7 all trying to explain this
[Chorus]
D# (I wanted all of it, all of it, all of it) F All of it D# (Not just some of it, all of it, all of it) F Not some of it
[Verse 4]
C7 I saw a great man turn into a little child F7 the cancer reduce him to dust C7 His voice growing weak as he fought for his life F7 with a bravery few men know C7 I saw isotopes introduced into his lungs F7 trying to stop the cancerous spread C7 And it made me think of "Leda And The Swan" F7 and gold being made from lead
[Verse 5]
C7 The same power that burned Hiroshima F7 causing three legged babies and death C7 Shrunk to the size of a nickel F7 to help him regain his breath C7 And I was struck by the power and the glory F7 I was visited by a majestic Him C7 Great bolts of lightning lighting up the sky F7 as the radiation flowed through him
[Chorus]
D# (I wanted all of it, all of it, all of it) F All of it D# (Not just some of it, all of it, all of it) F Not some of it
