| [00:37.90] |
Some of them were dreamers |
| [00:43.27] |
And some of them were fools |
| [00:46.48] |
Who were making plans and thinking of the future |
| [00:55.08] |
With the energy of the innocent |
| [00:59.30] |
They were gathering the tools |
| [01:03.77] |
They would need to make their journey back to nature |
| [01:12.65] |
While the sand slipped through the opening |
| [01:17.17] |
And their hands reached for the golden ring |
| [01:21.74] |
With their hearts they turned to each other's heart for refuge |
| [01:30.89] |
In the troubled years that came before the deluge |
| [01:40.69] |
Some of them knew pleasure |
| [01:46.34] |
And some of them knew pain |
| [01:48.60] |
And for some of them it was only the moment that mattered |
| [01:57.39] |
And on the brave and crazy wings of youth |
| [02:01.87] |
They went flying around in the rain |
| [02:06.45] |
And their feathers, once so fine, grew torn and tattered |
| [02:14.94] |
And in the end they traded their tired wings |
| [02:19.72] |
For the resignation that living brings |
| [02:24.05] |
And exchanged love's bright and fragile glow |
| [02:28.82] |
For the glitter and the rouge |
| [02:33.50] |
And in the moment they were swept before the deluge |
| [02:40.75] |
Now let the music keep our spirits high |
| [02:49.75] |
And let the buildings keep our children dry |
| [02:56.10] |
Let creation reveal it's secrets by and by |
| [03:03.73] |
By and by-- |
| [03:08.46] |
When the light that's lost within us reaches the sky |
| [03:18.51] |
Some of them were angry |
| [03:22.04] |
At the way the earth was abused |
| [03:26.41] |
By the men who learned how to forge her beauty into power |
| [03:35.41] |
And they struggled to protect her from them |
| [03:40.13] |
Only to be confused |
| [03:43.99] |
By the magnitude of her fury in the final hour |
| [03:52.46] |
And when the sand was gone and the time arrived |
| [03:57.04] |
In the naked dawn only a few survived |
| [04:01.81] |
And in attempts to understand a thing so simple and so huge |
| [04:10.47] |
Believed that they were meant to live after the deluge |
| [04:18.15] |
Now let the music keep our spirits high |
| [04:27.07] |
And let the buildings keep our children dry |
| [04:33.45] |
Let creation reveal it's secrets by and by |
| [04:40.99] |
By and by-- |
| [04:45.53] |
When the light that's lost within us reaches the sky |
