song list next song previous song Jon Anderson: Animation All God's Children
(Jon Anderson/Jennifer Anderson)
All Gods children shall be free
All Gods people shine a light on me
All Gods children shall be free
All Gods people shine a light on me

I can play with the game call it purification
We can dance to the fantasy mystification
You can make it by living within the vicinity
I be ready to kiss you and love you infinity
     dancing in gravity

All Gods children shall be free
All Gods people shine a light on me

We were ready believing the heavenly choir
And the jollyfication is getting us higher and higher
Oh! the joy would be climbing and singing the stars at night
We be touching the strategy getting it just right

Better get out and work out a way to the energy
They be calling with musical high choreography
Just to dance with the thought inconceivable beauty
To be ready to kiss you and love you infinity
     dancing in gravity
     dancing in gravity

All Gods children shall be free
All Gods people shine a light on me

All Gods children shall be free
All Gods people shine a light on me

Like a song that has waited so long for its freedom
I be ready to run with you true inspiration
Have you heard of the people the Magical Trinity
I am ready to kiss you and love you infinity
     dancing in gravity
     dancing in gravity

All Gods children shall be free
All Gods people shine a light on me

All Gods children shall be free
All Gods people shine a light on me
song list next song previous song Yes: Yes Solo Family Album Jon Anderson: Animation All In A Matter Of Time
(Jon Anderson)
All in a matter of time
Greet the sunlight
Summers morning, ever to be mine

All in a matter of time
Feel the rush of loves emotion
Bring me sunshine

Wonder what idea can form this very day
Takes it's time to wake to such a chance
A dream these words clearly to my heart
To my heart

All in a matter of time
I would only want your loving
Closer to mine

All in a matter of time
Feel the spirit of this season
Drifting this way
Drifting this way

Wonder what idea can form this very day
Takes it's time to wake to such a chance
A dream these words clearly to my heart
To my heart

All in a matter of time
All in a matter of time
All in a matter of time

I. Cord Of Life
A man conceived a moment's answers to the dream,
Staying the flowers daily, sensing all the themes.
As a foundation left to create the spiral aim,
A movement regained and regarded both the same,
All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you.

Changed only for a sight of sound, the space agreed.
Between the picture of time behind the face of need,
Coming quickly to terms of all expression laid,
Emotion revealed as the ocean maid,
All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you.
Oh.

Turn round tailor,                                      Coins and
Assaulting all the mornings of the                        Crosses
Interest shown,                                        Never know
Presenting one another to the cord,        Their fruitless worth;
All left dying, rediscovered                    Cords are broken,
Of the door that turned round,                      Locked inside
To close the cover,                             the mother earth.
All the interest shown,                                They won't
To turn one another, to the sign           Hide, hold, they won't
At the time                         Tell you, watching the world,
                                       Watching all of the world,
                                               Watching us go by.

And you and I climb over the sea to the valley,
And you and I reached out for reasons to call.
II. Eclipse
Coming quickly to terms of all expression laid,
Emotion revealed as the ocean maid,
As a movement regained and regarded both the same,
All complete in the side of seeds of life with you.
III. The Preacher the Teacher
Sad preacher nailed upon the coloured door of time;
Insane teacher be there reminded of the rhyme.
There'll be no mutant enemy we shall certify;
Political ends, as sad remains, will die.
Reach out as forward tastes begin to enter you.
Ooh, ooh.

I listened hard but could not see
Life tempo change out and inside me.
The preacher trained in all to lose his name;
The teacher travels, asking to be shown the same.
In the end, we'll agree, we'll accept, we'll immortalise
That the truth of the man maturing in his eyes,
All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you.

Coming quickly to terms of all expression laid,
As a moment regained and regarded both the same,
Emotion revealed as the ocean maid,
A clearer future, morning, evening, nights with you.
IV. Apocalypse
And you and I climb, crossing the shapes of the morning.
And you and I reach over the sun for the river.
And you and I climb, clearer, towards the movement.
And you and I called over valleys of endless seas.

song list next song previous song Jon Anderson: Animation Animation
(Jon Anderson)
When I was young I had thoughts of a kind that still linger
   entwined with realities reasoning
I'd sit on the hill side and look out far yonder, imagine I'd easily
   fly away, to where? I don't know,
But the imagery caught by my quick imagination would lift me
   my spirit to conquer a fall
Well now let me tell you the simplest of stories
We've all been through this moment
and really we've all been
through this birth

All praise this glorous chance of life
All praise this wonderous feeling too
All praise this time we all go through
This pain This light, we bare so fast
Rebirth at last

And I wanted to be by my wife
As she'd laboured and given
The child a life, she the purest soul
So I wanted to be by her side
For the very first time I said
For the full and simple reason
Well I wanted it, well yes I did

As a Mother and Father of innocence
Gladly helping a child to this world
There was more than relief on our minds
It was like touching moments in History
Not just for a memory
With the help of those dear people
Who could have thought for a better
reason of just wanting to be there
Who could have thought for a better
reason of just wanting to be there
Who could have thought for a better
reason of just wanting to be there
For the full and simple reason
Well I wanted it
       wanted it
       wanted to be there

Out in a whispering of time
Can a Mother and Child love right away
Mother and Father as their right accept a reason
As the child's eyes that dream on and dream a life away
So the moment I thought about release of life that comes on
And how hopefully wise we become with each passing day
I wondered at this devine "Animation Of Life"
As the moment her eyes opened wide I could see
it was her first day
was her first sound
Time had stood still
Brought my knees to the ground

The moment I saw the look in her eyes
I knew I was captured by an angel in disguise
And as I sit on that green covered hill long ago
The memory of a deeper love inside me flows

Oh -- it comes and it passes through you
Oh -- it comes and it passes through you

Tell me things that our fore fathers have tried
I'll tell you there's nothing in life to touch the birth of a child,
I want these words to linger on and on
for I was there beside my loved one

Oh tell me there is nothing like seeing the birth of a child
So tell me the thought
           the memory
           lingers so.

song list Jon Anderson: Letter B previous song Jon Anderson: Toltec Jon Anderson: The Power Of Silence Ave Verum
(Mozart)
See through this teaching life
Shines around my being
Out in the mists of timelessness
I see your face
Hold me closer now
Each and every feeling now is come
At last this majesty is God

Hear me through your love
See me in the light you are
Hold me closer to the earth
And all that gives  (And all that is)
Now I feel your true light
Now I see your pure light
Now I hold this love within my heart

Is come
God of love of light will shine
Is come is come at last
