Each part was played Though the play was not shown Everyone came But they all sat alone The dawn opened the play Waking the day Causing a silent hooray The dawn will break another day Now that it's done I've begun to see the reason why I'm here

Moving like a restless wind, Heaven up above me Floating like driftwood on the tide Wandering from place to place, a cold rain is upon me Falling in the rivers of my pride. Just the sound of one heart breaking screaming at the silent moon Just another dr...

There may be an om in moment But there's very few folk in focus Not the first, not the last, not the least You needn't be well to be wealthy But you've got to be whole to be holy Fetch the rope, fetch the clock, fetch the priest Oh this planet of ours is...

Looking for something and I thought I'd found the key but I've changed my mind Looking for something, I just could not let it be, now I find. This world is not an easy rider, it's where the tigers walk To see the light of heaven, you'll need the eyes of a...

What can I say, she's walking away From what we've seen What can I do, still loving you It's all a dream How can we hang on to a dream How can it ever be the way it seems What can I do, she's saying we're through With how it was What will I try, I st...

Cold and misty morning, I heard a warning borne in the air About an age of power where no one had an hour to spare, Where the seeds have withered, silent children shivered, in the cold Now their faces captured in the lenses of the jackals for gold. I'll be...
