I. The One
(Anderson/Squire/Howe)
Never underestimate the loving
How we intertwine our very soul
How we fill eachother's spaces
To lose control
When you're talking be the children
Who stand on solid ground
Never underestimate the giving
That will bring you round

I'll be there
To bring you this love in the morning
I'll be there
To bring you the stars at night
I'll be there just waiting to hear you singing

Never underestimate a giver
The gift of love will surely be
When you're asking for the secret
To set you free
When you're talking to the friendship
That love of higher self
This gift of love is
The answer to all your doubts

Be the one, giving in to love
Never let the good in life desert you
Be the one, giving in to love
Never let the fools destroy your dreams
Be the one, giving in to love
I can dream myself every minute
So how did we become
Masters of limitation?

I'll be there
I'll be there
I'll be there
To make it right for you

Giving in, giving in to love
It's the balance of this everyday feeling
Giving in, giving in to love
Without love our dreams become illusion
Giving in, giving in to love
I can hear you singing every minute
So you can sing the song, and see the truth

II. Humankind
(Anderson/Squire/Howe)
So we worked all around amidst the glory of life
Any fire of the flame would be made
Should the famine of change to diguise everyone
Who cannot see the soul of truth ready made

But all because we're changing now
As the prophets of doom speak their mind
It's a long, long way from where the system began
It's a long, long way humankind

So we dance down on nature as we try to repeat
All our efforts as one sent today
Taking aback instead of giving, taking aback more or less
Taking aback a sense of being afraid
So all this necessary changes now, as the will to help all man
And the children of the crucified will better off, better dead

But all this senseless killing, and all these chains and lies
I want to know right now, I want to know right now
I want to know where we come from
For it's a long, long way from where the system began
It's a long, long way humankind
it's a long, long way from where the system began
it's a long, long way humankind, yeah

Giving in, giving in to love
I can see and feel the truth every minute
Giving in, giving in to love
Be the one to rescue you, rescue you
giving in, giving in to the right love
There's no way that you can live without it
So we can become masters of our invention

song list next song previous song Yes: Something's Coming Yes: Yes Beyond And Before
(Squire/Bailey)
Sparkling trees of silver foam cast shadows in winter home,
Swaying branches breaking sound, lonely forest trembling ground.
Masquerading leaves of blue run circles round the morning dew,
Patterns understood by you, reaching out beyond and before.
Time, like gold dust, brings mind down to hidden levels underground,
Say a few words to the wind, that's all that's left of winter's friend.

Reaching the snow in the days of the cold, casting a spell out of ice.
Now that you're gone,
The summer's too long and it seems like the end of my life
Beyond and before.
Time, like gold dust, brings mind down.
song list next song previous song Yes: Big Generator Big Generator
(Downes/Horn/Howe/Squire/White)
verse 1:
Such a strange pre-occupation
Such a strange peculiar breed
How it's shining in its armour
Made of gold and made of steel
It can strike a chord inside you
Like a generation's need
Speaking happy words of promise

chorus 1:
Big generator
Lives out of sight
Big generator
Hands upon the wheel

Moving to the left
Movin'
Moving to the right
big generator
moving through the night

Second nature sacrifice
Even if you close your eyes
We exist through this strange disguise

verse 2:
I have heard it said to someone
Or maybe it was me
There is a reason to experience
Psychedelic so we could see
To be growing up before us
Like the black and white of love
Be the focus
Be the chorus

chorus 2:
Big generator
Hands upon the wheel
Big generator
In for the kill

Second nature comes alive
Even if you close your eyes
We exist through this strange device

Moving to the left
Moving to the right
Big generator
Moving through the night

We are the voices of the big generator

Moving through the night
Movin'

Flying out the soft machine, we offer
All surprise to you
Praise oh praise this anthem generator

Moving through the night
Movin'

We are the voice of every. . .
song list next song previous song ABWH: An Evening Of Yes Music Plus ABWH: Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe Birthright
(Anderson/Howe/Wakeman/Bruford/Bacon)
In 1954 the British Government, in order to maintain the balance
of power between East and West, exploded their first atom bomb at
Woomera.  They failed to contact all of the Aborigine peoples at
the time.  The Aborigines still call this 'the day of the cloud.'

A new born land
Dreaming by the sky
The scent of colours
In the flowers

Believe it's small
In many ways
It holds the key
That divides the super powers

This road is never lonely
To ENGLAND they are tied
They were blasted by the Silver Cloud
There were blasted to the wall alive

This place, this place ain't big enough for stars and stripes

Counting out the statesmen
Bungling one by one
Spelling out this segregation
So the catchword be
Looking after number one
They release the fear inside
Are human after all
So begins our dream time
They hunted like the dinosaur
We the pure
They the savage innocent
How we crush our existence after all
Come on

For without them
We are lonely
This England we are blind
Like all the Empires crumble
Will surely change the tide

This place ain't big enough for red and white
This place ain't big enough for stars and stripes

This place - This place
This place is theirs, by their birthright
This place

The sun gives better reasons
United we are blind
To deliver our existence
Keep it up
Keep it up
This human tide, give it some

We can break the ties
Of recent changes
Know the ones who
Hold the key
Singing out the congregation
We are them and they are we

This place ain't big enough for red and white
This place ain't big enough for stars and stripes
This place
This place
This place is theirs by their birthright
song list next song previous song Yes: Keys To Ascension 2 Bring Me To The Power
(Anderson/Howe)
This day began the matrix of the real world thinking
This way is meant to surface through the net
This train is set to mystify

This day began the history of the future
This train is set to justify

Whether you're ready or not
This day is of the meeting now

If they don't give us the keys
How are we supposed to get ready?

If they don't give us the keys
How are we to survive?

Cover me up and bring me to the power
Cover me up and bring me to the power
Cover me up and bring me to the power

All I know is all I want to give you
Cover me up me -?- to the fire
Cover me up get closer to the power
Cover me up get closer to the power
Cover me up get closer now
Cover me up get closer to the power

Got talk Got talk
Got talk Got talk
Revelation

Got talk Revelation
Got Got talk Got talk
Revelation

If they don't give them the keys

If we don't give them the keys
How are they supposed to be ready?
If we don't give them the keys
How are they to devine?

If we don't give them the keys
How are they supposed to be ready?
If we don't give them the keys
How are they to survive?

Cover me up and bring me to the power
    (Cover me up get closer to the power)
Cover me up and bring me revelation

If we don't give them the keys
How are they supposed to be ready?
If you don't give them the keys
How are they to survive?

The power of love can open
Every heart in everyone
Minute by minute

I. The Big Dream
(Anderson/Howe/Wakeman/Bruford)
So giving all the love you have
Never be afraid to show your heart
So giving all the love you have
There is a special reason
A special reason...

In the big dream
We are heroes
We are dreamers
Of the big dream

Someone told me
There are brothers
Live forever
In the big sky

Just hear your voice
Sing all the songs of the earth
Nothing can come between us
You're a brother of mine

Sing out your sisters
All the dreams of the world
Nothing can come between us
We are the travellers of time

See the desert
We have walked the path
Of all the known religions

In the big dream
We are brothers, we are sisters
Of the big dream

Just hear your voice
Sing all the songs of the earth
Nothing can come between us
You're a brother of mine

Sing out your sisters
All the dreams of the world
Nothing can come between us

Took me by surprise
It opened up my eyes
I can't believe we're ready to
Run another
Run another
Run another

Fourth Dimension Dream
All the way it seems
I can't believe we're running to
See the world for what it really is
In the full moon

II. Nothing Can Come Between Us
(Anderson/Howe/Wakeman/Bruford)
Took me by surprise
It opened up my eyes
I can't believe we're ready to
Run another
Run another
Run another

Fourth Dimension Dream
Always the way it seems

Just hear the voice
In all the songs of the earth
Nothing can come between us
You're a brother of mine

We hold our hands together
Be the sunshine
Nothing can come between us
You're a sister of time

Just hear the voice
Sing all the songs of the earth
Nothing can come between us
Nothing can come between us
Nothing can come between us

So give it all the love you have
Never be afraid to show your heart
So giving all the love you have
There is a special reason to come true

So giving all the love you have
Never be afraid to show your heart
So giving all the love you have
There is a special reason
There is a special reason this time

III. Long Lost Brother Of Mine
(Anderson/Howe/Wakeman/Bruford/Downes)
Long lost brother of mine
Seeing my life for the first time
Long lost brother of mine
Living my life in the dig dream

Long lost brother of mine
Walking away from illusion
Long lost brother of mine
Seeing my life for the first time

Long lost brother of mine
Seeing me fly like an eagle
Long lost brother of mine
Watching me walk in the full moon
Long lost brother of mine
Seeing my life for the first time
Long lost brother of mine
Walking this dream everlasting

So it's there
Putting one into one special reason
So it's there
Putting one into one
One another.  Sure can.  Sure can

This is a further dimension
Coming at us for the very first time
It's the second attention
Realising it all of the time

Re-defining this long lost passion
For the living we're in
This will be the first of many
I be telling you

Long lost brother of mine
Walking the dream evolution
Long lost brother of mine
Singing the sisters of freedom
Long lost brother of mine
Seeing the fathers of wisdom
Long lost brother of mine
Seeing my life for the first time

So it's there, but to want it to one special reason
Yes it's there, but to want it to want one another
So it's there, but to want it to one special reason
Yes it's there, you can see what you want to see

Long lost brother of mine
