song list next song previous song Jon Anderson: Song Of Seven Hear It
(Anderson)
Hear it in the mystic voice
Of forces long forgotten of
Lions of thunder renting forth
The power of the given Lor

Hear it in the joyful tales
Of princes and their battle quest
Their armour being truth and goodness
To crush all life's evilness

hear it from the mountain side
Where nature spills its silent eyes
The days of paradise are there
The quietness of the dawning skies

Hear it for the love we share
This firmament of song and verse
For just one second share with me
The feelings of the universe

Dance of heaven, feel the feeling of delight
Dance of heaven, feel the feeling of delight
Feel the feeling of delight
In the firmament of time, the middle of the light, the sun and feeling free
song list next song previous song Jon Anderson: Song Of Seven Heart Of The Matter
(Anderson/Leahy)
Guess what, I thought about a beautiful day
It simply caught me out in my own time
Thinking about it, I was under the weather
And over the moon at the same time

I really see you baby, every time I guess
In my dreams I love you the best

By going straight to the heart of things
Straight to the heart of the matter
Straight to the heart
To the heart of things
Oh yeah

You did me so much good by calling me up
I really understood your loving at that moment in time
Who could believe me when I really wanted just to
Be with the sun and the sunshine

Really tried so hard to be good to please
You know you got me feeling weak in the knees

I'm going straight to the heart of things
Straight to the heart of the matter
Straight to the turn around
Look around
Oh yeah

Think about it, baby, now I really don't want
To try to get it out, to write it out or spell it out far
Submit me baby, you can do what you want to me
As long as we can get inside the back of your car

Every time I guess, I want you close to me
Every time I guess something happens to me
Every time I guess, don't have to try so hard
I wanna tell you babe
Don't want to let you down

Straight to the heart of things
Straight to the heart of things
Straight to the heart of things
Straight to the heart of things
Straight to the heart of things
Straight to the heart of the matter
song list next song previous song Jon Anderson: Change We Must Jon Anderson: The Best Of South America Yes: 90125 Hearts
(Jon Anderson/Trevor Rabin/Chris Squire)
Hearing, talking, yes I love you

Set your heart, sail along the river
Look around as you drift downstream
Pouring souls into the ocean
Take account of all you've seen

One people together, freedom for today
So easy the future, so see the children's way
Love me, teach me, know me

One people together, freedom for today
Tomorrow forever, so see the people's way

Many moons cascade one river
They light from side to side
As we cross in close proximity
LIke rivers our hearts entwine
Howe we talk, how we teach our children
How we move, we direct our eyes
Like senses tuned discovery
As and as when our hearts decide
Be ready now, be ye circle
Be the central force ye life
As the game extends the cycle
Be ready to move

CHORUS
One heart's for love, one's for giving
Sailing down the river
Two hearts are better than one
Throwing out a line
I'm hearing it, I'm living it
I believe in it, I'm loving it
Sharing in our fortunes
Two hearts are better than one
In and out of time

As we flow down life's rivers
I see the stars glow one by one
All angels of the magic constellation
Be singing us now
song list next song previous song Jon Anderson: EarthMotherEarth Heaven Knows (Treehugging)
(Jon Anderson)
Picture a pathway on high on a mountain
that leads to the portholes where rainrivers sing

Under the earth hear a rumble of rhythms
as deep as in deeper than all you can see with your soul

Soul - coming into patterns
playing with the knowledge
catching every phrase, every phrase

Heaven knows it all to be careful
Heaven knows it all to be helpful
Full of knowledge
More you know there is to know

Picture me now saying yes I submit
to all passions and pleasures you bring to me now
After the snowflakes that flow from my past
and Heaven can see where I've been here before

Soul - coming into patterns
playing with the knowledge
catching every phrase, every phrase

Soul - coming into listening
hearing every heartbeat
more magnified than I 'd say

Heaven knows it all to he careful
Heaven knows it all to he helpful
Heaven knows it all to he worshipful
Heaven knows it all to be thankful

Full of knowledge
More you know there is to know
song list next song previous song Jon Anderson: The More You Know Heaven's Love
(Anderson/Jocky)
Even if things don't work out right, who knows which way it goes
Any time will tell if you wanna be, if you want a life that's good
Everything that comes to you each time, no matter how it ties
No matter how it breaks, no matter what it takes to know that you
believe in you

Something tells me you believe in you
Always try to touch the sky in you
Don't forget that we believe in you, you

Even when things just twist you round
Your dreams come flying down
Going in a spin don't know what you got
Don't know what you got to bring it in
People can turn you on yourself even when you gotta sell
'Cos everything's about, everything you do
When you go around, you're never gonna let it through

All because you let them get to you
Always when inside you've got Heaven's love
Don't forget that you were made for loving
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I guess they call it Heaven's love
Yes they call it, Heaven's love
Guess they call it, Heaven's love

All because you, yeah, experiment with your life
Always when you try, call it heaven's love
Don't forget that you were made for loving
You were made for loving, loving, loving

I guess they call it Heaven's love
Yes they call it, Heaven's love
Guess they call it, Heaven's love
song list next song previous song Jon Anderson: In The City Of Angels Hold On To Love
(Anderson/Dozier)
There you have it
You see this love regretting
There's something wrong again
But you had it
In the palm of your hand

Your heart has started bleeding
You gotta get out
You're leaving
You're on your own forever

It's not the space or time or whether
You can leave
You want, you can't have
You need, you can't touch
You plead, it's enough, enough

There's something happening to ya
Love can see right through ya
In a world of make believe
Don't go throwing it all away

Hold on to love
Hold on to love
Treat it as a good thing
Be always ready
With that electric feeling

You work so hard
To be in love with her
She tries so hard
You gotta let it go

Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on

The more and more yo uhear it
The more it seems to make sense
To hold love in the palm of your hand

But you think that round the corner
They're queuing up to hold her
But that won't make a difference in the end

There's never space or time or whether
Yo u can leave
You want, you can't have
You need, you can't touch
You plead, it's enough, enough

There's something happening to ya
Love can see right through ya
In a world of make believe
Don't go throwing it all away
Hold on to love
There's nothing more important
Treat it as a good thing
Be always ready
With that electric feeling

You work so hard
To be in love with her
She tries so hard
You gotta let it go

Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on

You work so hard
To be in love with her
She tries so hard
You gotta let it go

Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on

Hold on to love
There's nothing more important
Hold on to love
Don't let it pass you by
Hold on to love
There's nothing so important
Hold it in the palm of your had
Yeah, yeah

Hold on to love
There's nothing more important
Hold on to love
Don't ever let it pass you by

Hold on to love
Hold on to love
Treat it as a good thing
Treat it as a good thing
Treat it as a good, good thing
song list next song previous song Jon Anderson: 3 Ships The Holly And The Ivy
(Traditional)
The holly and the ivy
When they are both full grown
Of all the trees that are in the wood
The holly bares the crown

CHORUS
Oh the rising of the sun
The running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing in the choir

The holly bares a blossom
As white as any flower
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
To be our sweet savior

CHORUS

The holly and the ivy
When they are both full grown
Of all the trees that are in the wood
The holly bares the crown

CHORUS

The holly bears a berry
As red as any blood
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
To do poor sinners good

song list next song previous song Jon Anderson: 3 Ships How It Hits You
(Anderson)
Who brought this lovely morning
Dancin' in my head, can't help but call you
Dancin' in my head, can't help but call you

Who brought here silent teardrops
Runnin' through my head, can't help but call you
Runnin' through my head, can't help but call you

You know the heavens, they'll be dancin'
All for singing of the glory of the very day

N' in my heart of hearts
I knew it from the very start
S'taht you'd be with me
Aim to jump in
Aim to jump high
Are you with me
Are you with me

Oh! how it hits you
It's so amzing how it hits you
Letting go, how it hits you
It's so amzing when it hits you

Who changed this way of thinking
Dancin' in my head, can't help but touch you
Dancin' in my head, can't help but touch you

Who stopped my heart from crying
Running 'round my head, can't help but want you
Running 'round my head, can't help but want you

I opened the door an' I was mesmerized
All the power of the love
That shone around me and within me

N' in my heart of hearts
I know that it had to start
N' you'd be with me
There's a time for living
And a time for loving
And are you with me
Say, are you with me

Oh, how it hits you
It's so amzing how it hits you
Letting go, how it hits you
It's all amazing how it hits you

Letting go can be so easy
Letting go, it will help you
Letting go of the ceiling
Letting go to be near you
Just look at it
Keep it up, keep it up, keep up

There the pleasure to cross
There the pleasure to cross

Letting go, letting go, go, go
I just wanted to tell you

She would say it's so easy
I can't help but believe it
When all around seems to breathe it
How can I not help but be there
I can't help but be there
I can't help but be there

Letting go, letting go, letting go

The breakthrough was needed
By the sign of the day
Singing out our revolution
Children show the way

They made out a charter
Sealed wit ha song
It took me across the river
To where I belong

Hurry home to the voice
There are times for inner changes
Be ready for the choice

Hurry home, said my love
Hurry home to the stars
Start a new generation
With a freedom that's ours

My friends said bear me witness
I'm coming alive
For the first time in our history
No mountains to climb

Be the living soul of this time
Be ye wise as the moon
Be the first new generation
Coming home, coming soon

They call it the cleansing
Of the loneliest soul
It's an honor just to be alive
From this love we'll never fall

Hurry home to your heart
Hurry home to the ovice
There's a new point to living
And a freedom of cohoice

There's a call throughout the kingdom

Hurry home to the stars
