song list next song Yes/ABWH: Letter E Yes: The Ladder Face To Face
(Anderson/Howe/Sherwood/Squire/White/Khoroshev; lyrics: Anderson)
Here we are trying to mend all the broken hearts
In a world where the pain is the fear
Ain't no doubt there's a method to madness here
Set your clock to the start of a brand new year

Shine your heart to the universe and get the news
Not alone never have been, never will be
See the truth, not to mention the promise made
See them all, see them all high on judar rhythm

We began at the very first spring
How the promise will come when the promise is made
We will sing at the very first spring
That the promise will come when the promise is made
Promise is made, promise is made

Shake me up, take me up
Face to face

Lift me up, shake me up
Face to face

Make me real, make me longing to see you smile
Shall we dancing, shall we be the dancing down under
In this life of lives, are we ready to take the chance
Moving to the rhythm, here at last to

Believe
To believe

We began at the first real spring
How the promise will come when the promise is made
We will sing at the very first spring
That the promise will come when the promise is made

We began at the first real spring - ya
We will sing at the very first spring - ya

We began at the first real spring
We will sing at the very first spring
How the promise will come when the promise is made
Promise is made, promise is made

We began at the first real spring
That the promise will come when the promise is made
We will sing at the very first spring
That the promise will come when the promise is made
Promise is made, promise is made

Shake it up, take me up
Face to face
Face to face
Face to face
song list next song previous song Yes: Big Generator Final Eyes
(Rabin/Kaye/Anderson/Squire)
Person to person woman to man
Sing me a story to reach me
Teach me to teach me to understand
All these emotions I miss you

So you leave her
Can't believe her
Can't escapse
Final eyes
Final eyes

Person to person woman to man
Send me this song that will teach me
Like a river without a stream
Night time without dreaming
Send me this song that will reach me

So you leave me
Can't deceive me
See through me
Final eyes
Final eyes

And I know you think there's nothing
There's nothing more to say
And I know that I've got something
I've got something to say

If ever I needed someone
You were there when I needed you

If ever I needed someone
You were there when I needed you

If ever I needed someone
You were there when I needed you

Person to person woman to man
Send me this song that will teach me
Like a river without a stream
Night time without dreaming
Send me this song that will reach me

So you leave me
Can't deceive me
See through me
Final eyes

And I know you think there's nothing
There's nothing more to say
Don't hide behind the headlines oh yea
I've got something to say

If ever I needed someone
You were there when I needed you
If ever I needed someone
You were there when I needed you

Whenever I needed
Whenever I needed
Whenever I needed

Someone

If ever I needed
Whenever I needed someone
You were there when I needed you

You saved me from falling
Saved me from falling
I'm so in love with you
song list next song previous song Yes: The Ladder Finally
(Anderson/Howe/Sherwood/Squire/White/Khoroshev; lyrics: Anderson)
Finally... We put it to the test
Dedicate to the true believer in you
Finally... Put it to the test
Finally

Make no mistake to the mainstream
Music be the master planner
Just like the books you read
You'll hear it on your radio scanner

It's not so much what you know
Or who you know that's coming
Its what you do regardless
Its what you do... eventually

Finally... We put it to the test
Dedicate to the true believer in you
Finally... Put it to the test
Finally

I've seen them running, down and out
Never mind the good intentions
A dreamer with a reason to live
Is as clear as his next invention
 
You take a second look to find
A second chance at giving
The voices say do not despair
There's a real good reason you're living

I could feel the earth moving
I could see sky falling
We can chase the storm
We can sing the rain
Walk the final distance
Live this life again

Finally... We put it to the test
Dedicate to the true believer in you
Finally... Put it to the test telling me to let go

I can feel the earth moving (I can sing the rain)
I can feel the rain coming (live this life again)
I can feel the storm
I can sing the rain
I can free my heart
Live this life again
You can choose to stand
You can choose to fall
You can see the rain
You can have it all

I can feel the rain coming
I can feel the earth moving
I can feel the love coming

I can feel the earth moving
I can feel the rain coming
I can feel the love coming
I can feel the earth moving

song list next song previous song ABWH: Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe Fist Of Fire
(Anderson/Howe/Wakeman/Bruford)
Carry forth as a guardian to Kingdom Come
With your daggers of the spirit
Let the dagger run
With the Fist of Fire
Be the master now
As the darkness of ages past

Riches silver and gold
In the liquid see
Cast a net can you catch
So you can't see me

As in death you can climb
Higher thru the sky
Show your wings
Surely you can fly

Fly away past the guardian to Kingdom Come
See the miracle of life
Disappear it's gone

Go carry your silver ships of light
Go carry your silver ships of light
Go carry your silver ships of life
Go carry your silver ships of life
Go carry your silver ships of life

Keep the fire in your hand
It won't let you drown
As you fly with your wings
Won't come falling down

See the flower of youth
Disappear on high
As you gather your true wings
About to fly

To be ready
To be strong
Make it run

This righteous
This wrong
This right
This love

This is how nature controls
The way of all things
this is how the angels sing
Not afraid
No, not afraid
Not afraid of this or that
Not afraid

Carry forth as a guardian to Kingdom Come
With the ghost
And the spirit
Let the fire run

Thru the darkest age
We can surely fly
Thru the darkest age
With the Fist Of Fire
Thru the darkest age
With the Fist of Fire

song list next song previous song Yes: Keys To Ascension 2 Foot Prints
(Anderson/Squire/Howe/White)
My eyes see the coming revolution
My eyes see the glory of the world
My eyes see the coming revolution
My eyes see the glory of the world

My eyes see the coming revolution
My eyes see the glory of the world
My eyes see the coming revolution
My eyes see the glory of the world

  (Only when you stop to listen)
Looking for the mystery in the woman
  (Only when you start to see)
Dancing with the teacher in the circle
  (Only when you watching for them)
Watching for the reasons we are going
  (Only when you stop to listen)
Getting ready for the big bang

Everybody looking for that great connection
Somebody help me find that universal dream
Everybody watching
Is something happ'ning?
See what I mean?

  (Only when you stop to listen)
Looking for the real man
  (Only when you stop to breath)
Looking for the teacher
  (Dancing with the majesty of knowing)
Dancing with the circle
  (Only when you start to see)
Looking for the real world

Everybody knows where we're going to
Don't forget to leave good footprints behind
Never let the grass grow over your soul
Only time will tell
Leave good footprints behind

I can see the way
The way is clear
To save your love

High upon the sky
The forces come
To break me free

Forgiving is what you have
Forgiving is what you see
Forgiving is what you know
Forgiving is all you are

I have seen the way
The way is clear
Beyond your soul

I can see the way
The way is clear
To save your love

High upon the sky
The forces come
To break me free

Forgiving is what you have
Forgiving is what you see
They say the soul
Has so many lifetimes

My eyes see the coming revolution
My eyes see the glory of the world

Only when you stop to listen
Only when you start to see

Forgiving is what you have
Forgiving is what you see
Forgiving is what you know
Forgiving is all you are

I can see the way
The way is clear
To save your soul

I have seen the way
The way is clear
Beyond your soul

My eyes see the coming revolution
My eyes see the coming revolution

My eyes see the coming revolution
My eyes see the glory of the world
My eyes see the coming revolution
My eyes see the glory of the world

Don't forget to leave good footprints behind

Don't forget to leave good footprints behind
song list next song previous song Yes: Something's Coming For Everyone (Anderson/Squire)
This early Yes song contains the music and lyrics for Disillusion, from Starship Trooper. Yes: Keys To Ascension ABWH: An Evening Of Yes Music Plus Yes: Highlights - The Very Best Of Yes Yes: Yesstory Yes: Yesyears Yes: Classic Yes Yes: Yessongs Yes: The Yes Album
Look on a new day
Love's sun arising
Love comes surprising
Even me
Love comes surprising
Everyone

Inside of your love
All is confusion
Love revolution (or) Love's resolution
Never my
Love revolution
Everywhere
Everywhere

Look on a new day (or) Luck of a new day
And no change the answer (or) As no change the answer
When life see's a chance for  (or) seize a chance for
In your eyes
Will I see a chance for (or) seize a chance for
Everyone

All I can show you
You may guarantee that (or) You may find it's easy
All I can see that is
In your eyes
Feel for me and (or) In it for me and
For Everyone
For Everyone
For Everyone

Loneliness is a pow'r that we possess
To give or take away forever.
All I know can be shown by your acceptance
Of the fact there shown before you.
    There is life
    There is love
    There is you
    There is time

Take what I say in a diff'rent way
And it's easy to see that this is all confusion.
As I see a new day in me,
I can also show it you, and you may follow.
    First there's life
    Then there's love
    'Cause there's you
    Then there's time
    And they're one
    Can't control
    All you see
    In the soul
    What you need
    Can't be told
    There is no one
    All alone

[INCREDIBLE BASS SOLO]

Outside of your love (?)
All this confusion
Love revolution
Close your mind  (or) 'Cause you're mine...
Love revolution
Everywhere
Everywhere
Everywhere
Everywhere

Luck of a new day
As no change the answer
Will I sieze a chance there
In your eyes
When I sieze a chance for
Everyone

All I can show you
You may guarantee that  (or) You make your own...
All I can see that is
In your eyes
In it for me and
For Everyone
For Everyone
For Everyone

song list next song previous song Yes: Open Your Eyes From The Balcony
(...)
Now I've heard you singing
Dreaming that you know me well
Let me tell you far away
Looking down on you

If you know my spirit
Always shall you know me now
Singing is your pleasure
Looking down on you

Now I hear you singing
Saying that you know me well
Take me to your promise
New state of mind

Now I feel you sighing
Saying that you understand
Feeling all the power
Looking down on you

You know that I would be
The one who waits forever
You know that someday we will find
A way to share our love

Now I hear you singing
Dreaming that you know me well
Let me tell you far away
New state of mind
song list Yes/ABWH: Letter G previous song Yes: Tormato Future Times
(Jon Anderson/Steve Howe/Chris Squire/Rick Wakeman/Alan White)
In the fountains of the universe (set time in accord)
Sits the boychild Solomon (Ever turning round and round)
In the cities of the Southern Sky (set points universe)
Dreams he of glory (pulsating round and round)
Future times will stand and clearly see (highest dancing)
Of the course of innocence (Drifting drifting)

See it all
See it all
Till tomorrow
See it all
See it all
Till tomorrow
Future times will stand and clearly smile
Of the course of innocence

Dantalion will ride again (raging forth underland)
The course of evils standing straight (grind to grind)
Hot metal will abound the land (churning out shout)
As the form regards our blazing hand
Future times will stand and clearly see
Of the course of innocence

One the word will enter all our hearts
Two the duel will alter them
Three jewels countenance divine away delight away
four the fight to free the land
Five the islands of Arabia
Six the tears that separate
Six the tears that separate
