song list next song Yes/ABWH: Letter N Yes: Yesyears Yes: Tormato On the Silent Wings of Freedom
(Jon Anderson/Chris Squire)
On the silent wings of freedom
Where I ofer myself midst the balancing of the sun
On the winds of celestial seasons
That would carry me on, midst the balance of being one
On the dream of our love eternal
That will eventually bring our living once more with you

Where we are coming from
Or where we go
We only know e come with sound

Where we are coming from
Or where we go
We only know we go around and around

On the back of your forty-second screamdown
Do you choose to be lost midst the challenge of being one
On the flight of regardless feelings
As you hurtle to fear midst the challenge of everyone

On the darkest night so painful
Do you hunger for love midst the torture of being one
On the passing light of easing
Have you seen you inside midst the being of everyone
To the common goal of freedom
Where we offer ourselves midst the balancing of the sun

Where we are coming froom
Or where we go
We only know we come with sound

Where we are coming from
Or where we go
We only know we go around and around

(Chris Squire)
Contained in everything I do
There's a love, I feel for you
Proclaimed in everything I write
You're the light
Burning, brightly
Onward through the night
Onward through the night
Onward through the night of my life

Displayed in all the things I see
There's a love you show to me
Portrayed in all the things you say
You're the day
Leading the way
Onward through the night
Onward through the night
Onward through the night of my life

Onward through the night
Onward through the night
Onward through the night of my life

(...)
You've got a great imagination

You carry on in the same old way
No lessons learned from yesterday

Talk of changes lost in pages of paperwork

I believe it...
How can we refuse to see
I've received it...
What could be our final destiny
I believe that...
Still we go on from day to day
Knowing what could be true

Wish I knew
Wish I knew
Wish I knew

Open your eyes and discover
You're not the only one
In disguise
Do you wonder
When the change is gonna come?

Open your eyes

You've got a great imagination

We cast the world, we set the stage
For what could be the darkest age

Short exchanges
From perfect strangers
We'll never know
But wish we knew

I believe it...
It's time to face reality
I've received it...
Questioning the powers that be
I believe it...
Are we too confused to see?

Wish I knew
Wish I knew
Wish I knew
Wish I knew

Open your eyes and discover
You're not the only one
In disguise
Do you wonder
When the change is gonna come?

Open your eyes
    You've got a great imagination
Open your eyes
    Show it
    Show it

[gtr]

Wish we knew

I believe it...
It's time to face reality
I've received it...
Things aren't what they used to be
I believe it...
What I see in you, you see in me

Wish I knew
Wish I knew
Wish I knew
Wish I knew

Open your eyes and discover
You're not the only one
In disguise
Do you wonder
When the change is gonna come?

Change is gonna come
    Change is gonna come
        Change is gonna come
You've got a great imagination

Change is gonna come
    Change is gonna come
        Change is gonna come
You've got a sweet imagination

Change is gonna come
        Open your eyes
    Change is gonna come
            Open your eyes
        Change is gonna come
You've got a deep imagination coming

II. Rock Gives Courage
(Anderson/Howe/Wakeman/Bruford/Lawrence)
You don't need anybody, don't you give me that surprise
Everything about you inside your eyes
You don't need anybody in your family ties
You crossed over the river

You don't need any money to deserve all your friends
It's just the love you give them
You don't need anybody in this complicated life
You crossed over the river

And you're there on your own and you're lost in your life
And you think there's someone's gonna make you feel so good
You better lose control you better watch your step
For there's something inside you, they call it

Rock gives courage, a way to win the trust
Rock gives lover a way to win or bust

You don't need anybody in this complicated life
You crossed over the river

Rock gives courage, a way to with the trust
Rock gives lovers a way to win or bust

Rock gives sisters a way to speak their mind
Without this gift of rock and roll
We'd all be wasting time

III. It's So Hard To Grow
(Anderson/Howe/Wakeman/Bruford)
They say we've got it made, they say we gotta light
Where is the man with all the great directions

They say we gotta win, they say we gotta learn
But in the end it's just the same damn reason

They say you've gotta run, they say you gotta jump
Don't really need to know which way we're going

They say we gotta push, they say we gotta shout
Is this the way to keep our bonfires burning

Sick feeling, sick reasoning, sick challenge you la la la la
You can't imagine it, how hard it is to grow
You can't imagine it, can you imagine

The order of the universe

You don't need anybody, don't you give me that surprise
Everything about you inside your eyes
You don't need anybody in your family ties
You crossed over the river

You don't need any money to deserve all your friends
It's just the love you give 'em
You don't need anybody in the complicated life
You crossed over the river, you crossed over the river
You crossed over the river, you crossed over the river

song list next song previous song Yes: 90125 Our Song
(Anderson/Squire/Rabin/Horn)
Toledo was just another good stop
Along the good king's highway
My fortification took me by surprise
And hit me sending me sideways
Spellbound - Roundly - Good for sunshine
Can't help thinking

Singing the Rule Britannia
And this is where it grabs you
There's method in the key of C
Toledo's got to be the silver city
In this good country

Our song
It gives us a reason
Our song
That good remedy
Music has magic
That stuff of syncopation

Ever tried driving it to golden heights
Just simply jiving it
My mystification it got a
Jewel skies crazy spacing it
Hot sun - Crowded - Screams high voices
Singing speechless

Touching of the healing heart
So this is where we really start
Music is a shout of foregone conclusions
As long as music plays its part
Good good part

Our song
It gives us a reason
Our song
That good remedy
Music has magic
It's good clear syncopation

Treat it good
Treat it rightly
And if you get it flowing
The harmony is glowing
So get ready
So get ready
Don't go toledo toledo don't go
Music - Good to you
Music - Good to you

(Rabin/Anderson/Squire/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
