It's of a strange and furious time
|
when men did speed to pray
|
Along the road of discontent to gods of gold and clay
|
Some did seek security
|
Among the seas of change
|
And some did seek dear life to wound
|
a furious time and strange
|
But when you find out who you are
|
Beautiful beyond your dreams
|
Just look around and
|
notice where you are
|
Just look around and notice what you see
|
Each moment born for you innocently
|
|
But when I see what we have made
|
What we have out with the mind's blade
|
In the blackness feel it all
|
Repeated faces rise and fall
|
With ancient goals unwondering fail
|
Further obscure the ancient trail
|
Filling with the endless years
|
The river of your heart's tears
|
I swear you have the power
|
as the angels do
|
Spread out your fingers and
|
make all things new
|
Change the world by the things you say
|
By the things you love
|
And by the games you play
|
And you make each new day
|
|
It feels so funny in your mummy's tummy
|
Before you get born into
|
the world for to carry on
|
Remember young man of the time
|
before you first went to school
|
How did it feel trying to live to the rule
|
Remember young man of the time
|
when your love stick
|
First rose free between your legs
|
Like a growing tree
|
Remember you walked with your lover
|
Like a gypsy and a gypsy queen
|
Under the stars where the sign was seen
|
Under the stars where
|
the leaves were green
|
Under the stars where the sign was seen
|
|
0 how many shining hearts
|
With love has guided me
|
And many I have met before
|
in lands across the sea
|
We used to speak of that ocean deep
|
How little words can say
|
It's better now to ask your friend
|
What makes him sad today
|
|
No one can do it for you
|
Make your own sky blue
|
Make your own dreams come true
|
Make it come true.
