song list next song previous song Jon Anderson: The Promise Ring O'er
(Jon Anderson) Yes: Open Your Eyes
this song contains partially lyrics for Yes' song Somehow Someday
O'er the green mountains
'n o'er the green valleys
The bluebird of faith sails
far off to the shore
She sleeps on the breeze
of the coming of love
The homelands of Eireland

So many times on the clouds
of forgiveness
We walk thru the country
to feel so at ease
A gentle reminder how things really are
In the homelands of love

So the bluebird will fly
o'er the world 'n the stars
In the moonlight she prays
for forgiveness that's ours
Only now can she rest
from the singing of songs and
The freedom of love

We awake from a slumber,
an age to receive
A way of forgiving,
a planting of seeds
Watching the trees
And the flowering of truth
Spread all over the world

So the bluebird will fly
o'er the world 'n the stars
In the moonlight she prays
for forgiveness that's ours
Only now can she rest
from the singing of songs and
The freedom of love

O'er the green mountains
'n o'er the green valleys
The bluebird of faith sails
far off to the shore
She sleeps on the breeze
of the coming of love
The homelands of Eireland
song list next song previous song Jon Anderson: 3 Ships Oh Holy Night
(Traditional)
Oh, holy night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear savior's birth

Long lay the world
In sin and horror crying
Till He appeared
And the soul felt more alive

The thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks
A new and glorious morn

CHORUS
Fall on your knees
Oh, hear the angel voices
O, night divine
O, night when Christ was born

Truly he taught us
To love one another
His law in love
And His gospel in peace
Chains shall He break
For the slave in our brother
And in His name all oppression shall cease

Sweet hymns of joy
A grateful chorus sing we
Let all within us praise His holy name

CHORUS

O night divine
O night when Christ was born

O night divine
O night
O night divine
O night divine
O night divine
song list next song previous song Jon Anderson: Olias Of Sunhillow Olias (To Build The Moorglade)
(Jon Anderson)
Olias awoke from a dream and drank his soul into the ocean
that sailed past the brink of his window that long summer.

             Then build the ship the Moorglade Mover
             to sail a silence which nobody knows...

Olias shines as clear as his sons emotions retrace him.
(As one delivers always one will shine over you)

I've sailed and always will to parts of Sunhillow
(Ride on Olias remember your begotten father)

I've trailed and sailed a silence which nobody knows
(Ride on Olias remember your begotten sons)

song list next song previous song Jon Anderson: Animation Olympia
(Jon Anderson)
What you want, you say you,
You gonna get it easy
What you need, say really,
Electronic digit!

Scientific sell me
So terrific to do
Counting fifty-two, plus micro-chip
Plus you're so serious

Eventide delay
Digital delay

Anytime you meet superstition
Just add thoughts to advision
Then cross collateralise and
Subsidised by television

Media media, push to ninety-five
Set to stabilise, Mark One plus
two eighty five

Olympia

Just listen watch
And watch more closely now
Such new machines self-loading
Acquire a taste for you
Spells the name remains the same
Shouts of prophet laughter
Set to spellbind you the viewer
To view the voyager.

Eventide delay
Eventide delay
Monitor special moments
That turn to history
The sound can bring you
Whatever you need

Attention Attention
Within the groove
Sharp sophistication
Cumputer Casio overdrive

Olympia

Through these hallowed halls
Sing into these ears
Songs of infinite
My child Media

What you want, Electronic Music
What you have, such Symphonic Music
Sanyo, Sony, power multiply by hour
Computer redesign?
Riding out in scale of nine

Eventide Delay
Digital Delay
Anytime you need the Truth
Tune in and turn the key
True Media Media Media
You know you've got to me!!

    (Trevor Rabin/Jon Anderson/Chris Squire/Trevor Horn)
    Move yourself
    You always live your life
    Never thinking of the future
    Prove yourself
    You are the move you make
    Take your chances win or loser
    
    See yourself
    You are the steps you take
    You and you - and that's the only way
    
    Shake - shake yourself
    You're every move you make
    So the story goes
    
    Owner of a lonely heart
    Owner of a lonely heart
    Much better than - a
    Owner of a broken heart
    Owner of a lonely heart
    
    Say - you don't want to chance it
    You've been hurt so before
    
    Watch it now
    The eagle in the sky
    How he dancin' one and only
    You - lose yourself
    No not for pity's sake
    There's no real reason to be lonely
    Be yourself
    Give your free will a chance
    You've got to want to succeed
    
    Owner of a lonely heart
    Owner of a lonely heart
    Much better than - a
    Owner of a broken heart
    Owner of a lonely heart
    
    Owner of a lonely heart
    
    After my own decision
    They confused me so                                      Owner of a lonely heart
    My love said never question your will at all
    In the end you've got to go
    Look before you leap                                     Owner of a lonely heart
    And don't you hesitate at all - no no
    
    Owner of a lonely heart
    Owner of a lonely heart
    Much better than - a
    Owner of a broken heart
    Owner of a lonely heart
    (repeat)
    
    Owner of a lonely heart
    
    Sooner or later each conclusion
    Will decide the lonely heart                             Owner of a lonely heart
    It will excite it will delight
    It will give a better start                              Owner of a lonely heart
    
    Don't deceive your free will at all
    Don't deceive your free will at all                      Owner of a lonely heart
    Don't deceive your free will at all
    Just receive it
