1
Some of them were dreamers
2
And some of them were fools
3
Who were making plans and thinking of the future
4
With the energy of the innocent
5
They were gathering the tools
6
They would need to make their journey back to nature
7
While the sand slipped through the opening
8
And their hands reached for the golden ring
9
With their hearts they turned to each other's heart for refuge
10
In the troubled years that came before the deluge
11
Some of them knew pleasure
12
And some of them knew pain
13
And for some of them it was only the moment that mattered
14
And on the brave and crazy wings of youth
15
They went flying around in the rain
16
And their feathers, once so fine, grew torn and tattered
17
And in the end they traded their tired wings
18
For the resignation that living brings
19
And exchanged love's bright and fragile glow
20
For the glitter and the rouge
21
And in the moment they were swept before the deluge
22
Now let the music keep our spirits high
23
And let the buildings keep our children dry
24
Let creation reveal it's secrets by and by
25
By and by...
26
When the light that's lost within us reaches the sky
27
Some of them were angry
28
At the way the earth was abused
29
By the men who learned how to forge her beauty into power
30
And they struggled to protect her from them
31
Only to be confused
32
By the magnitude of her fury in the final hour
33
And when the sand was gone and the time arrived
34
In the naked dawn only a few survived
35
And in attempts to understand a thing so simple and so huge
36
Believed that they were meant to live after the deluge
37
Now let the music keep our spirits high
38
And let the buildings keep our children dry
39
Let creation reveal it's secrets by and by
40
By and by...
41
When the light that's lost within us reaches the sky
