| I met a Cosmic Cowboy and He’s ridin' the starry range | 
| He’s a supernatural plowboy. | 
| He’s dressed up kind of strange | 
| At first you know, I didn’t even see him; | 
| Hey, I was out there on the run | 
| But that old hat that He’s wearin', it’s shinin' brighter than the sun | 
| And when my eyes adjusted, to the flashin' of his smile | 
| Oh, I saw his invitation. | 
| He said, «Come on, Barry, we’ll go ridin' for awhile» | 
| (Cowboy of the light, shootin' rainbows through the night) | 
| And you know we rode along together, for more than half a day | 
| Right through the changin' weather; | 
| the sky was all turning gray | 
| And the chilly winds were blowin', and the cold was cutting deep | 
| Then it started snowing, the trail was gettin' steep | 
| I was just about to turn around, and head on back down the way we came | 
| Somehow without a sound, I heard Him call my name | 
| (Cowboy of the light, shootin' rainbows through the night) | 
| Lookin' up, I saw we was high up on this ridge | 
| He took me by the arm; | 
| lead me right over to the edge | 
| I was so scared I couldn’t find a single word to say | 
| I mean, there’s 10,000 feet of empty air, and it’s just about an inch away | 
| But a million miles was out beyond the waving of his hand | 
| And I was looking through His eyes, right in through another land | 
| (Cowboy of the light, shootin' rainbows through the night) | 
| He said; | 
| «This is my Father’s ranch, just as far as you can see | 
| He made it out of nothing; | 
| every branch, every tree | 
| The stars, and the mountains, the rivers, the streams | 
| The oceans and the fountains, and the valley of your dreams | 
| I know that place you’re lookin' for, that place you long to be | 
| Truth is, I’m the only door, you’re going to have to pass right through me | 
| Bendin' back I tipped my hat so I could look Him in the eye | 
| He just smiled and gave me confidence. | 
| He said; | 
| «Go ahead and try» | 
| Well, it was now or never, and I knew I had to start | 
| So I took that step and I went fallin', straight in through His heart | 
| The first thing that I noticed, coming out the other side | 
| All my fears had vanished. | 
| Jesus taught me how to fly | 
| (Cowboy of the light, shooting rainbows through the night) | 
| There’s a Cosmic cowboy, and he rides the starry range | 
| He’s a supernatural plowboy, and he is dressed up kind of strange | 
| To think I nearly missed Him, being out there on the run | 
| Ah, but that old hat that he’s wearin', its shinning brighter than the sun | 
| And when my eyes adjusted, to the flashin' of His smile | 
| Hey, I saw his invitation. | 
| He said; | 
| «Come on, Barry, we’ll go ridin' for awhile» | 
| (Cowboy of the night, shooting rainbows through the night) |
