song list next song Jon Anderson: Letter A Jon Anderson: EarthMotherEarth Behind My Eyes
(Jon Anderson)
And then,
there you are
as you have always been,
behind my eyes
and in the silent noises
I hear before I sleep
in my angels' sighs

So simply you stand
so sure with your heart in my hands
humming your love, remembering
the dance of our souls
other times, other lands

And so,
here I am
as I have always been
with you, my twining star
whispering in your ear
in the soft moments
before you wake
"there you are..."
song list next song previous song Jon Anderson: In The City Of Angels Betcha
(Anderson/Lawrence)
It was the perfect opportunity
Looking at your quick mistakes
So yo u finally went and did it
You screamed and ran away

It was the perfect chance
The mystery school
It's all for beginners
How we knew it then
But that didn't mean a thing

So we stacked our promises
To the mothers of invention
Then yo u chased the spiral dream
Wit hthe brothers of time

So you gave your heart of hearts
To the sisters of the union
You were left so high and dry
Just give it up
Just give a little time

Betcha never thought
You'd make
Betcha never thought
You'd see the light of day
Betcha never thought
You'd make it

You were dancing faster all the time
Living life so down and out
But it was so magnificent
You couldn't leave it all alone

So you chased your dreams
When they sing to you, "Bon jour"
It's the perfect dream
But that didn't mean a thing

Something tells me you know who you are
You just make believe it all
Something tells me you were
Just waiting for that perfect time

See this reality
It's the mother of invention
You can spin the spiral dream
Sister, brother, sister of time

CHORUS
Betcha never thought
You'd make it
Betcha never thought
You'd see the light of day
Betcha never thought
You'd have it in your pocket

Just catch you when you're falling

CHORUS

Just catch you when you're falling, falling

CHORUS

Betcha never thought you'd make it
You'd make it

It was the perfect opportunity
Just looking at your quick mistakes
So yo u finally went and did it

Betcha never thought
Betcha never thought
You'd make it

song list next song previous song Jon Anderson: Animation Boundaries
(Jon Anderson)
O'r the green mountains and
O'r the green valleys
I've walked through the country
And felt me an age
A people so strong
They resist for so long
The boundaries that hold them

Children can sing of
the coming of Spring
A young man can't defend
What he knows to be wrong
Women so strong
Needing peace for so long
The homelands lay broken

So the refugee walks such
a long lonely road
As the weak will die off
Make the young people old
To redeem a whole country
For selling its soul
To the bastions of war

So the refugee walks such
a long lonely road
As the weak will die off
Make the young people old
To redeem a whole country
For selling its soul
To the bastions of war

Weep a fresh tear for the mass graves
I fear won't be long
As the young perish fast the land
Wiping the tears from the young
Gifted years, the millions lay down

O'r the green mountains and
O'r the green valleys
I've walked through the country
And felt me an age
A people so strong
They resist for so long
The boundaries that hold them

Palabras de bien me llevan a entender,
son ciertos momentos..................
Llega el d’a y cruzo puentes,
lleg— el d’a de vivir feliz.

Hoy creamos puentes para ir por tu amor,
respirando en paz, conectados.
Cantemos con placer y entendimiento,
bailemos con el ritmo de ˇsa luz que alumbrar‡.

Mi naci—n espera la nueva estaci—n,
a–ora la luz y a quien le di— la voz.
Voz de un son en pos de una bendici—n.
Dulcemente te despertar‡s.

Hoy creamos puentes para ir por tu amor,
respirando en paz, conectados.
Cantemos con placer y entendimiento,
bailemos con el ritmo de ˇsa luz que alumbrar‡.

Now we build the bridges that we walk upon.
Now we breathe the peace that conects us.
Speaking with the voice of understanding.
Singing in the rhythmic science of the sky.

Hoy creamos puentes para ir por tu amor,
respirando en paz, conectados.
Speaking with the voice of understanding.
Bailemos con el ritmo de ˇsa luz que alumbra ya.
song list Jon Anderson: Letter C previous song Jon Anderson: Toltec Jon Anderson: The Power Of Silence Building Bridges
(Anderson/del Signore)
Surely like you say the more we realize
Surely there'll come a time for letting go (before leting go)
Come a time building bridges
Come a time mending all that is

Now we build the bridges that we walk upon
Now we breathe the peace that connects us (us)
Speaking with the voice of understanding
Singing in the rhythmic science of the sky

The earth is waiting for a season change
To set the role of cross-culture wisdom

Better sounds you choose never let you down
Then you might easily turn around.

Now we build the bridges that we walk upon
Now we breathe the peace that connects us (us)
Speaking with the voice of understanding
Singing in the rhythmic science of the sky

Of the sky

Good day morning brother eagle
Good day wonder sister sky
We walk hand in hand with your love
We walk through this ancient line

Good day dreamers always dreaming
Good day moonlight all is form
We dance hand in hand with one love
We walk through this ancient land

Now we build the bridges that we walk upon
Now we breathe the peace that connects us us
Speaking with the voice of understanding
Singing in the rhythmic science of the sky

Surely like you say the more we realize
Surely there'll come a time before letting go
Come a time building bridges
Come a time mending all that is

Ooh yeah yeah yeah
Ooh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Now we build the bridges that we walk upon
Now we breathe the peace that connects us us
Speaking with the voice of understanding
Singing in the rhythmic science of the sky
