	作词 : Jackson Browne
	作曲 : Jackson Browne
	Some of them were dreamers
	And some of them were fools
	Who were making plans and thinking of the future
	With the energy of the innocent
	They were gathering the tools
	They would need to make their journey back to nature
	While the sand slipped through the opening
	And their hands reached for the golden ring
	With their hearts they turned to each other's heart for refuge
	In the troubled years that came before the deluge
	Some of them knew pleasure
	And some of them knew pain
	And for some of them it was only the moment that mattered
	And on the brave and crazy wings of youth
	They went flying around in the rain
	And their feathers, once so fine, grew torn and tattered
	And in the end they traded their tired wings
	For the resignation that living brings
	And exchanged love's bright and fragile glow
	For the glitter and the rouge
	And in the moment they were swept before the deluge
	Now let the music keep our spirits high
	And let the buildings keep our children dry
	Let creation reveal it's secrets by and by
	By and by...
	When the light that's lost within us reaches the sky
	Some of them were angry
	At the way the earth was abused
	By the men who learned how to forge her beauty into power
	And they struggled to protect her from them
	Only to be confused
	By the magnitude of her fury in the final hour
	And when the sand was gone and the time arrived
	In the naked dawn only a few survived
	And in attempts to understand a thing so simple and so huge
	Believed that they were meant to live after the deluge
	Now let the music keep our spirits high
	And let the buildings keep our children dry
	Let creation reveal it's secrets by and by
	By and by...
	When the light
