song list next song Yes/ABWH: Letter M Yes: The Ladder New Language
(Anderson/Howe/Sherwood/Squire/White/Khoroshev; lyrics: Anderson)
I speak from some sort of protection of learning
Even tho' I make it up as I go on
A special trait is that I've tried
To reach all feelings
So I speak a new language of love

Some say that it is written in the circle
Others that it is written in the sun
But I protect myself by seeing this experience
As a metaphor for moving on

Sometimes I check myself
To start to believe in
The horoscopes you read everyday
They're telling me somethings
I really ought to know
But then again I like to
Then again I learn to
Then again I'm running away

Vision is coming so fast I can't stop myself
Vision forgets who is real
On the city streets, people get lost
Just waiting for history
Pushing the real world away
 
Taking a chance only once in your life
Only weakness can stop you from hearing
New languages
Translate each word
As they bring you creation
Your voice is the perfect  key

Is there something that
I'm supposed to see

Is there something that I'm
Supposed to feel
I'm with you
And I can't help but want to know

(Talk to me)
Is there something that I'm supposed to teach
(Speak to me)
Is there something that I'm supposed to find
As I reach to the healing in each spoken word

For some strange reason time just cannot wait a minute
I'm chasing every second before I let go
Yesterday my history
Dreams are still a mystery
This living is a gift I should know            

Lay it down and let me live the new language
Let me learn at every twist every turn
Lay it down and let me love the further future
Let me know I'm running
Let me know I'm learning
Let me know I'm moving on

Vision is racing so fast I can't stop myself
Chasing the reason
For all kinds of wondering
People embracing these feelings of limbo
Just waiting for some kind of truth

Taking a chance as it comes only once
Only strength can do justice
With words of new languages
Translate creation
To bring you salvation
Your voice is the perfect  key

(Talk to me)
Is there something that
I'm supposed to see

song list next song previous song Yes: Open Your Eyes New State Of Mind
(...)
Waiting for the moment when the moment has been waiting all the time
Staring at the golden heights, wondering are you ready for the climb

Are you ready for this?     If you're ready to believe it, treasure you'll find
Are you ready for that?
Are you ready for this?     Don't mistake the chance, focus your eyes
Will you take the chance?     When you're ready to receive it, fear's left behind
Well, you've got the time

A new perspective, a new state of mind

Always on the edge of what could be the greatest moment in this life
Watching as the theme builds, left only to wonder in delight

You've got to let it go     You've got to let yourself believe in all that can be
You've got to let it go
Wanting to feel     Wanting to feel just what it means to be free
There's no reason for deceiving     There's no reason for deceiving, focus your eyes

To a new perspective, a new state of mind

Sometimes you feel you want to run away from it all
Sometimes you hear the voices of the past come to call
But there's no giving up when you are giving it all

Hoping, forgiving and loving, the qualities of life
Designing the future we're building, the dreams taking flight

Are you ready for love?
Are you ready for love?
Are you ready for love?

A new state of mind

Waiting for the moment when the moment has been waiting all the time
Reaching for the golden heights without a doubt you're ready for the climb

You've got to set it out     You've got to set yourself believing and fortunes you'll find
You've got to set it out
No escaping     No escaping once you've made up your mind
There's a reason for your being     There's a reason for your being, focus your eyes

A new perspective, a new state of mind
song list next song previous song Yes: Friends And Relatives Wakeman with Wakeman: No Expense Spared No Expense Spared
(Rick Wakeman/Adam Wakeman)
You say you won''t believe me
When I tell you that I'm scared
And the way you walk you walk towards me.
Only shows that you once cared
Now there's no, no expense spared
No expense spared (2x)
No expense, no, no

No, no, no
Everybody knows,
Everybody's singing in the one  man show of life
My life, some life
Some life (5x)
Life (3x)

Cheap, so cheap, a bargain,
Buy it at the shop, at the store with a cheque or card
Tell me now, what should I be doing here ?
No expense is spared
So any little deal will do, I give it no regard.
Hanging around, that's all I seem to do when you're around
Buy, buy, buy our product
Well below the recommended price, it's not so hard
Absolutely stunning
That'll do nicely, slap it on the card today
Oh I can't see, what you want from me,
No expense is spared
I haven't any money so American Express will pay.
No commitment, no financial guarantee

I should own the bank, then
Take it all away to play the town
The price is down
And there's no expense spared for me.
song list next song previous song Yes: Something's Coming Yes: Yesstory Yes: Yesyears Yes: Time And A Word No Opportunity Necessary, No Experience Needed
(Richie Havens)
Step out in the night
When you're lonely
Listening for the sounds
That your ears don't hear
I know your cross is heavier
With every step
Every step
But I know a man
And he'd walk miles for you

Stop, you stay where you are
Take a look at yourself
Take a good look at yourself
'Can tell your momma
She'd only tell ya
That she told you so
The life you're leading
She won't believe
The riches of life
We all know

Dawn turns to day
And the dawning
Daytime, nighttime
And we still can't see
Why must we wait until the morning light
To wake up and be
Wake up and be
Wake up and be

Step out in the night
When you're lonely
Listen for the sounds
That your ears don't hear
I know your cross is heavier
With every step
Every step
But I know a man
Who'd walk miles for you

Stop, you stay where you are
Take a look at yourself
Take a good look at yourself
'Can tell your momma
She'd only tell ya
That she told you so
The life you're leading
She won't believe
The riches of life
We all know

'Can tell your momma
She'd only tell ya
That she told you so
The life you're leading
She won't believe
The riches of life
We all know
song list Yes/ABWH: Letter O previous song Yes: Open Your Eyes No Way We Can Lose
(...)
There can be no answer for us all
There can be no stopping what is ever changing
Living for the perfect dream
It's time to make a resolution
There will be some peace in our hearts and our minds

We can all find a way to resolve our differences
There's no way we can lose
When we all realize that there are no differences
There's no way we can lose

Ready or not
We can all find a way

We will be forgiving to the ones we love
We will see the blossoming of the new spirit
Shaping everything to our design
We'll build a brighter future
We will free ourselves from the chains that would bind

We can all find a way to resolve our differences
There's no way we can lose
When we all realize that there are no differences
There's no way we can lose
No way we can lose

Ready or not
Ready or not
There's no way we can lose

We can all find a way
Ready or not
Ready or not

We can all find a way to resolve our differences
There's no way we can lose
When we all realize that there are no differences
There's no way we can lose
No way we can lose

Ready or not
Ready or not
Ready or not

No way we can lose
