[Intro]
Sue dreamed she was in an ancient forest of large and humongous trees. They called to her and tugged her heart in wonder. However, while she was there she saw a pillar of fire that went up to the sky. This cause her dread and wonder, and she sought to warn her old world of the danger but despite all effort could not reach them or get to them at all. She fiddled with opening many arrayed doors around her. Small doors. Larger doors. At last she opened a normal sized door, a Sue-sized door, and in its opening the pillar of fire went out. She awoke.

[Chorus]
The pillar of fire, dear
The pillar of fire
Both frightening and amazing
But how can it be both?
But how can it be both, yeah
Now you’ve to decide
But in your journey
Your fantastic journey
You’re brought to a door
A Sue-sized door, for sure
It’s the door to heaven, dear
It’s the door to heaven, yeah
And your own light’s inside
Your own light’s inside
Your pillar of fire, yeah
Your own pillar of fire

[Verse 1]
The pillar of fire
Like in the Old Testament
Seeing they see not

A cloud by day light
And by night a fire pillar
And now Sue sees it

Wonder or dread fire?
The fire can’t be both at once
Wonder or dread fire?

But Sue runs to warn
Her old world and loved ones
But she can’t get there

The old world can’t see
And Sue can’t reach them no more
But she opens doors

Tiny silly doors
Seeking to somehow aid them
To warn those behind

Not the same as her
But they were her loved ones too
She just can’t reach them

Fiddle through doors
A frenzy of doors opened
And none worked at all

Then the door opened
A Sue-sized door before her
And the pillar wanes

The dread is gone now
But does the wonder remain?
Has Sue found herself

[solo]

[Verse 2]
Now to walk through it
The door she has found awake
That’s the place she’s at

What to do right there?
Sue is at a cross road now
Is the wonder gone?

Why’d the pillar go?
Has she crossed a shore alone?
Can she dare cross o’er?

What’s the fire saying?
What’s the pillar telling her?
Now it’s gone away

‘Cause she found the door
And opened the door she did
And the fire went out

Oh, to find meaning
Whispered like the Tao to her
But what’s it saying?

‘I don’t know,’ won’t work
God or the devil, not both
And the wonder fades

So, dear, which side choose?
God, the devil, or the door
And the door frees you

From the choice of which
Awake, sleep, or ignore both
And it goes away

Red or blue pill, dear
Red or blue and blue pill, dear
You’ve a choice to make

[Chorus]
The pillar of fire, dear
The pillar of fire
Both frightening and amazing
But how can it be both?
But how can it be both, yeah
Now you’ve to decide
But in your journey
Your fantastic journey
You’re brought to a door
A Sue-sized door, for sure
It’s the door to heaven, dear
It’s the door to heaven, yeah
And your own light’s inside
Your own light’s inside
Your pillar of fire, yeah
Your own pillar of fire

[Musical outro]
