Once a peaceful man laid his old head down by a river, Thought about his childhood life, his father and forgiver, Couldn't hide away, hide away. He controlled the horses with a handclap or a whisper, Drink he couldn't combat but he knew he was no sinner, Couldn't hide away, hide away. He told all his sons of all the antics of adventure, Then he told another one who drove himself to drink Not to hide away, hide away. Better men have realized alone is not a venture, A decent man would realize alone is not a venture, Just to hide away, hide away. He told all his sons of all the antics of adventure, Then he told another one who drove himself to drink Not to hide away, hide away.Vevey, Part One

All around we see Hardships greater than our own If we stop to think Half the world is on its own Sad between the land ????? See the earth crashing by Stop making these maddening visions ????? Stop poisoning the air we breathe I don't know Of all the stupid notions I don't know what it is what it is I realize this beginning The first of all will sing our winning ????? It's so true So true It's so true So true Vultures in the city Songbirds fading fast The buzzard's empty desert Will it ever last Vultures in the city Wars are never won Minds that were ashamed Friends lost in the sun Vultures in the city Acid in the pipes It's never really over It's never really right Vultures in the city Acid in the pipes It's never really over It's never really right Enchantment is the power of learning This life's gold we are returning ????? [This wife's fool we are turning?] To a distant sky, to a distant song To a distant star, to a distant drum As all of our world is living I realize this is beginning It's so true It's so true It's so true It's so true So as we see the reasons unfold I count them all for nothing Open my eyes I'm alive again Unchanged So caring is the path we walk ????? [daring?] Everyone receiveth the soul With your eye on distance Look again Look again outside the prison bars Be alive in the work and of the dream of love Break the chains of everyone Break the chains of everyone Look again how the Vultures changed the further glory As the one, you may leave inside releasing all the pain Look again As the sound of love Encircles and surrounds you daily Trust is such a sacred word to me
