Lyrics

[Verse 1]

A man conceived a moment's answers to the dream

Staying the flowers daily, sensing all the themes

As a foundation left to create the spiral aim

A movement regained and regarded, both the same

All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you

[Verse 2]

Changed only for a sight, the sound, the space agreed

Between the picture of time, behind the face of need

Coming quickly to terms of all expression laid

Emotion revealed as the ocean made

All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you

[Verse 3]

Oh, coins and crosses, never know their fruitless worth

Cords are broken, locked inside the mother earth

They won't hide, no, they won't tell you

Watching the world, watching all of the world, watching gulls go by

[Verse 4]

And you and I climb over the sea to the valley

And you and I reach out for reasons to call

[Verse 5]

Coming quickly to terms of all expression laid

Emotion revealed as the ocean made

As a movement regained and regarded, both the same

All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you

[Verse 6]

Sad preacher nailed upon the colored door of time

Insane teacher, be there, reminded of the rhyme

There'll be no mutant enemy, we shall certify

Political ends, as sad remains, will die

Reach out as forward tastes begin to enter you

Ooh, ooh

[Verse 7]

I listened hard but could not see, life tempo change out and inside me

The preacher trained in all to lose his name

The teacher travels, asking to be shown the same

[Verse 8]

In the end, we'll agree, we'll accept, we'll immortalize

But the truth that the man maturing in his eyes

All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you

[Verse 9]

Coming quickly to terms of all expression laid

As a movement regained and regarded, both the same

Emotion revealed as the ocean made

[Verse 10]

A clearer future, morning, evening, nights with you

[Verse 11]

And you and I could cross in the shapes of morning

And you and I reach out for the sun, for the river

And you and I climb clearer towards the movement

And you and I called over valleys of endless seas
