Jon Anderson

I awoke this morning
Love laid me down by the river
Drifting I turned on up stream
Bound for my forgiver
In the giving of my eyes to see your face
Sound did silence me
Leaving no trace
I beg to leave, to hear your wonderous stories
Beg to hear your wonderous stories 'LA AHA'

He spoke of lands not far
Nor lands they were in his mind
Of fusion captured high
Where reason captured his time
In no time at all he took me to the gate
In haste I quickly
Checked the time
If I was late
I had to leave, to hear your wonderous stories
Had to hear your wonderous stories 'LA AHA, LA AHA'

Hearing
Hearing hearing your wonderous stories
Hearing your wonderous stories
It is no lie I see deeply into the future
Imagine everything
You're close
And were you there
To stand so cautiously at first
And then so high
As he spoke my spirit climbed into the sky
I bid it to return
To hear your wonderous stories
Return to hear your wonderous stories
Return to hear your wonderous stories
LA AH LA AH AH AH

Hearing

Hold come a day dream
Ask a flower to kneel
as you pray to the runner

Spurn all ye kindle
and cradle his sweet pleasure
as you just look
farther and farther beyond him,
beyond him, beyond him

Call for the giver, the taker
rejoicing
as you just look
farther and farther beyond him,
beyond him, beyond him

Spurn all ye kindle and cradle his sweet pleasure

In it all
to the devil take
In it all
to the devil take

Anderson

This child am I.
Awake this world.
To give, recieve,
my love to you.
Now.

This child in me
believes in truth
now.

We move, we sing.
One love we breath
this child and I
now.
(Translated and transcribed by Ramiro Bonilla)

Anderson

Hold my life
cross the path
course and curl my dreams away

Fast the soul
make the break
as even as the stars that form the way

Rider

Turn a mountain send them lost
among the flowers of the young

Turn a mountain send them lost
among the flowers of the young


Rider Rider Rider

Hold my life
cross the path
course and curl my dreams away

Fast the soul
make the break
as even as the stars that form the way

Rider Rider Rider Rider Rider

Shine for me,
I'll shine for you,
Each waking dawn,
Each day.
Let these words,
Please, let this song
Take you so
Completely.
You have the gift of love.
You have the gift of life.
Take whatever you need.
Be the light.
For once, be sure.
Be the light
you are.
You are the sound of love.
You are the sound of life.
Take whatever you need.
More will come as you reopen
All your senses changing.
Once you have seen,
Be awake to this life song.
Shine for me,
I'll shine for you,
Each waking dawn,
Each day.
You are the gift of love.
You are the gift of life.
Take whatever you need.

Veo en tu andar ese Abril,
daas de otooo paseo sin fin,
rumba de invierno que viene a lucir,
sigue tus pasos Mayo a seguir. la la la
Nace en tu vientre un reflejo del sol,
vistiendo el rocao amanezco en pasi÷n,
Primavera, ese anhelo de Dios,
el viento viene a decir.
-----------------------
Cuando te veo y encuentro el sabor,
pienso en el sol de una quinta estaci÷n,
naturaleza y su ciclo pas÷
viviendo el tiempo vuelvo a empezar.
-----------------------

(english)

I see in your walking that April,
autumn days, endless stroll,
winter party that comes to look
May follow your steps to go on.
Born in your womb a sun ray,
wearing the sprinkle, i awake in passion,
Sprins, the God`s yearning,
the wind comes to tell.
------------------
When i see you and find the taste,
i think about the sun of a fifth season,
the nature pass with its cycle.
Living the time i begin again.

Thou art mother, thou art father,
thou art friend and companion
Thou art knowledge and wealth,
thou art all in all
Lead us from the unreal to the real
Lead us form ignorance to light
lead us from death to immortality
Manifest through and through
Protect us with your sweet benign presence
We offer this meditation,
body, mind
and spirit
Past, present and future to be
for thou art all in all

Anderson

Riding in this car on the ???highway of love
Simply Looking for a place to dance the night
She smiled at me and said: "Which way do you wanna go now?"
I said: "It could be this way... It could be that"
"Come in to my room"
"You can dance with my tune"
"You can dance with my body"
"You can dance with my love"
"You can dance in these arms"
"You can dance with my life"
"You can dance with each rhythm above you"

She said...
"S?lo quiero tu amor" (I just want your love)
"S?lo amantes saben como vivi" (Only lovers know how I lived)
"Completamente libre" (Completely free)
"Bailando entre sue?os enamorados" (Dancing between loved dreams)
"Pensando en esse amor se puede so?ar" (Thinking of that love, one can dream)
"Revivir, revivir" (To relive,to relive)
"Ven conmigo esta noche" (Come with me tonight)
"A bailar, a bailar" (To dance... to dance...)
"Ven a bailar..." (Come to dance...)

"Come dance with me" she said

So we went into the rhythm of piano conversation
And in the corner was this man singing to his friends
She took me by the hand...
Said "This is the way... this is the way to paradise!"
"Just dance with me... I'll bring you higher... higher..."
"To be true, to be right..."
"This is the play... the place you love..."
"the is the drama within you... they call it Midnight Dancing"

If it wasn't for love
The moon would disappear
The seas would crash into the land
The sun would not appear
The tears would dry up in the sand

If it wasn't for love

If it wasn't for love
The children of the sun
They would all but melt away
Believe me, that would be
An unncessary day-oh, my
If it wasn't for love

If it wasn't for love
I'd still be all alone
And completely in the dark
No friends would help me through the night
No singing in the park-oh, my
If it wasn't for love

All we need is the truth in our hand
Someone to call a friend
Never fear the darkness
All we need is just the sun in the sky
And the hope of a summer to come
With the meaning of love


If it wasn't for love
Well, how do you expect
A woman or a man
They'd dry up all inside
As if life has never begun

If it wasn't for love

If it wasn't for love
The world would disappear
And we would fly off to the sky
The hatred and the sorrow would be
Showing in our eyes-oh, y
If it wasn't for love

When the moment of truth comes alive
How we'll rejoice and sing the blues away
There's no telling just how we will feel
So important is that very day

We'll imagine a change in our heart
Sometimes it's hard to explain the truth
But we'll see and will know
There's no doubt about it
The meaning of love

If it wasn't for love
The moon would disappear
The seas would crash into the land
The sun would not appear
And tears would dry up in the sand

If it wasn't for love

If it wasn't for love
The c

After the first embrace from you my senses knew
The look of love was in your eyes
and after we first make love our senses tingle to
Thetouch oh how we hypnotize

Oh, to get the feeling on and on
Oh, just to get the feeling

Holding you closer in my arms we drift to heaven
Bringing in the morning light
And after all is said and done there's only us
We can make it right

So, our love will carry on and on
Now our love will be free, be free.

And when we play, love don't delay, I hear you now
For what was then, is what is now, anyhow
As I became a guest of love's tune hear again
We'll carry on together like today.

After the first embrace from you I want you too
After the first embrace from you I want you too

The breakthrough was needed by the sign of the day
Singing out our evolution, children show the way
They made out a charter sealed with a song
It tooke me across the river to where I belong

CHORUS
Hurry home to your heart, hurry home to the voice
There are times for inner changes, be ready for the choice
Hurry home, said my love, hurry home to the stars
Start a new generation with the freedom that's ours

My friend said bear me witness, I'm coming alive
For the first time in our history no mountains to climb
Be the living soul of this time, be ye wise as the moon
Be the first new generation coming home, coming soon
They call it the cleansing of the loneliest soul
It's an honour to be alive, from this love we'll never fall

Hurry home to your heart, hurry home to the voice
There's a new point to living and a freedom of choice
There's a call throughout the kingdom, there's a call throughout the land
Be as clear as the stars above, holding love in your hand

CHORUS

We're gonna change our history, we're gonna change our style
They've been watching for many years, we're growing so wild
Be the children of the future, be the children of the age
We'll be standing there being counted with the strength that it takes

CHORUS

Hurry home to your heart, hurry home to the voice
Hurry home to your love, hurry home now
Hurry home to your voice

There you have it
You see this love regretting
There's something wrong again
But you had it
In the palm of your hand

Your heart has started bleeding
You gotta get out
You're leaving
You're on your own forever

It's not the space or time or whether
You can leave
You want, you can't have
You need, you can't touch
You plead, it's enough, enough

There's something happening to ya
Love can see right through ya
In a world of make believe
Don't go throwing it all away

Hold on to love
Hold on to love
Treat it as a good thing
Be always ready
With that electric feeling

You work so hard
To be in love with her
She tries so hard
You gotta let it go

Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on

The more and more yo uhear it
The more it seems to make sense
To hold love in the palm of your hand

But you think that round the corner
They're queuing up to hold her
But that won't make a difference in the end

There's never space or time or whether
Yo u can leave
You want, you can't have
You need, you can't touch
You plead, it's enough, enough

There's something happening to ya
Love can see right through ya
In a world of make believe
Don't go throwing it all away
Hold on to love
There's nothing more important
Treat it as a good thing
Be always ready
With that electric feeling

You work so hard
To be in love with her
She tries so hard
You gotta let it go

Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on

You work so hard
To be in love with her
She tries so hard-a

Aaaaahhh
Harold Land with a wave of his hand,
Said goodbye to all that,
He paid his bills, stopped the Milk, then put on his hat,
He tried to say his last farewells as quickly as he could,
Promising that he would return, but doubted that he would,
Doubted that he would.

Now he's marching soldiers in the rain
As on to war they rode.
A long thin line of human mind,
Damnation as their load!
In the mud in coldness dark he'd shiver out his fear,
What disappointing sights he'd seen instead of one's so dear
instead of one's so dear

Going home, He's going home to the land he loved so well,
Going home, he fought for two whole years he never fell,
He's going home, He's going home.
Harold Land with a wave of his hand stood sadly on the stage,
Clutching red ribbons from a badge but he didn't look his age,
Only two years had passed between his leaving home and back,
He had lost his love and youth while leading the attack
Leading the attack

In conversation it could be said,
Well after war your heart is dead,
Well it's not hard to understand,
There is no heart in Harold Land.

Tell me that I would sing
Soft as a song would bring
All of a union together in my life
Tell me I'm everyone
As where my heart is searching
Now is finally resting again

Oh, for the perfect sound
Jon, Jon, for my life
As it's something that I must
Explain this and all to you
Haven't you guessed it
Haven't you guessed it at all
This song is for you
This song is for you

Oh, for the perfect sound
Jah, Jah, for my life
As it's something that I must
Explain this and all to you
Haven't you guessed it
Haven't you guessed it at all
This song is for you
This song is for you

Anderson

(Spanish)
La noche espera , y yo aqui sentado en un cafe, ole ola ola ole
Dejando mi vida atras,
solo queria bailar, ola ole ole ola.
Despues de tantos anos juntos en la piel,
la noche me sorprende por primera vez sin el aroma de la infidelidad de esta
oportunidad.
Nadie quiere bailar!
(English)
The night is waiting, and I'm here sitting in a cafe, ole ola ola ole.
I'm leaving my life back,
I just wanted to dance, ola ole ole ola.
After all those years together on the skin (?)
the night surprise me for first time without the fragance of the infidelity
of this opportunity.
Nobody wants to dance...

(Anderson)

And the slightest confrontation
Was dissolved before the start
Each man
Belonged
To each as one clear hand.
Asking only comfort creation
He divided to the least
Each man
Open
Set sights to new lands.

And do remember you

The first to venture
First to gain
Exploring daylight
Clearer than the Talloplanic views

And there they were inside
The Moorglade to move and to chant
All through force to position

As rhythm raced inside the ship came alive
And was struck to the soul of perception

And raised our head to space
Beyond all the mass and the mountains
The sun they were headed
Headed

Word of life rejoice the sunlight
Course the flower to open wide
Open
They ride
Climb into the dark sky

Such a moment kindly lingered
They set sail from Tallowcross...

(A light to lead you
Is taken from the massland to the East
As words are spoken
All courage be the token
As the feast)

Wide Eyed Removing
The precious moment we have seen...

Anderson

Here are the books of look;
You need them to open the seed
To see what goes on in the world
Here in my mind
Catch the wind and hold on tight
To what we'll find
And hear what goes on in the world
Here is all you see
Everything is made for you from me

If there's anything you'd like to say that could help me in any way
Cause I've been waiting for so long for you to come along
Help me on that day
When you take over all the things heaven has made for you
Is there anything you think you should know
Is there anything before I go?

Dear Father [Repeat]
I'm hungry, I'm cold
Feeling terribly old
I don't think I can see
I'm not feeling good like I think I should

They're on their own, needing a face, a place,
Hope and mind, a home
To see what goes on in the world
They're who you need
To show them why they're wrong, oh why indeed
We need to go on in the world
Here is all you see
Everything is made for you from me.

If there's any complication that you'd like to talk over with me about
'Cause I've been waiting for so long for you to come along
We can work it all out
When you take over all the things heaven has made for you
Is there anything you think you should know
Is there anything before I go?

Dear Father [Repeat]
You must be putting me on
'Cause most of their minds are gone
They run on T'understand me
I'm not feeling good like I think I should

Dear Father [Repeat]
Can I give it a miss
'Cause I'm not ready for this
I don't think I can see
I'm not feeling good like I think I should

Dear Father [Repeat]
Won't you leave me alone
Won't you let me go home
I don't think I could see
Lord, they'd crucify me
I just couldn't do that
'Cause that's not where it's at now.

Sitting here in the television
Looking at the tube
Sitting next to me

He's not been very well lately
He told me so
He's been crying
A little bit
And I ain't lyin'

But we're sitting it out
Watching "Match of the Day".

You know we've all gotta go anyway
I said we've all gotta go anyway

And I wouldn't mind being last in line
To see such joy and fruitfulness.
When everyone discovers short stories

Cage of freedom
That's our prison
Where the jailer and captive combine
Cage of freedom
Cast in power
All the trappings of our own design
Blind ambition
Steals our reason
We're soon behind those invisible bars
On the inside
Looking outside
To make it safer we double the guard
Cage of freedom
There's no escaping
We fabricated a world of our own....

Cage of freedom, growing smaller
'Til every wall now touches the skin
Cage of freedom, filled with treason
Changing sides as the losses begin
Our suspicion tries escaping
But they step up the security
There's no exit, there's no entrance
Remember how we swallowed the key?
Cage of freedom, that's our prison
We fabricated this world on our own....

Big brother
Is there a bigger one watching you
Or is there one smaller
Who I should be watching too
Infinite circles of
Snakes eating their own tails
For every one chasing
Another is on the trail
Is that a friend
Can you tell, is he on your side?
'Cause I spy with my little eye
Yet another spy... (fadeout)
