00:00He is the light, He is the way
00:27He is the morning sun, the evening, the day
00:38He is the door, He is the key
00:46He is all these things and many more to me
00:57And many more to me
01:06This is a song that you will sing
01:31He is the gift of life and all that love can bring
01:42He is the one to whom I pray
01:50He is all these things and more than I can say
02:00And more than I can say
02:30He is the gift of life and all that love can bring
03:00He is the gift of life and all that love can bring
03:31Wind song, laying gently in the grass, see them dance
03:43The old widow weeps for a bird song so sweet, so eloquently, there's a past
04:13The old widow weeps for a bird song so sweet, so eloquently, there's a past
04:26Wind song, laying gently in the grass, see them dance
04:37The old widow weeps for a bird song so sweet, so eloquently, there's a past
04:49Wind song, laying gently in the grass, see them dance
05:00The old widow weeps for a bird song so sweet, so eloquently, there's a past
05:10Winter comes fast and the snow hides the grass
05:35But I show no regret, for I know that the promise of spring is in all living things
05:51That's why the autumn leaves laugh
05:56In the wind
06:27Lightly steps the minstrel to the melody remembered in his eyes
06:36The sound of autumn drifting through the meadow golden warm beneath blue skies
06:45All the world's a song to the man who dreams in harmony and rhyme
06:54Joyfully replayed by fingers dancing in and out of other times
07:24Side cold north wind nips at the heels of people passing by the way
07:40The minstrel's by the fire reminiscing near and gently start to play
07:49Now close your eyes and listen well for this world of ice and snow might melt away
07:58As all the days of spring he picks for you a fresh and beautiful bouquet
08:20Now close your eyes and listen well for this world of ice and snow might melt away
08:28As all the days of spring he picks for you a fresh and beautiful bouquet
08:36Now close your eyes and listen well for this world of ice and snow might melt away
08:46Ice and snow
08:59Ice and snow
09:16Ice and snow
09:30We who have waited so long in the wings with our song
09:35Come it's time now to move
09:39We take a chance if we all join our hands
09:43They might soon see what lovers can do
09:47We sing
10:08There'll come a time when whole towns will join in
10:12Youngsters, adults and the old
10:15When cool will be something you'll feel in the autumn
10:21When wealth won't be just what you can hold
10:24They'll sing
10:43Ice and snow
10:48Ice and snow
10:52Ice and snow
10:57Ice and snow
11:02Ice and snow
11:08Ice and snow
11:21As it began and the end again shall be
11:25But in between we've much to be done
11:29So remember this song and remember this feeling
11:34Remember to keep right on keeping on singing
12:05Allelu, Allelu, Allelu, Allelu, Allelu, Allelu
12:13Allelu, Allelu, Allelu, Allelu, Allelu, Allelu
12:22Allelu, Allelu, Allelu, Allelu, Allelu, Allelu, Allelu
12:35Billy's Birthday
12:40It's Billy's birthday
12:43Check the hall out
12:45Everybody brought a gift
12:49Wrapped in string and bright red ribbons
12:53His whole family's around him
12:58There's a tiny tot
13:01Struck the laser
13:03Little box marked TNT
13:07Twenty marching plastic soldiers
13:11And a German pistol from his ATG
13:15And a stick grenade set cast in plastic
13:20Four big boats with guns all around
13:24And a phantom jet from his Uncle Esther
13:29And its army gun complete with sound
13:48The years go by
13:50How swift they pass
13:52He's a man
13:55Receives a letter from the President
14:00Come on, boy, let's go to war
14:04But in the children's games
14:06What's played with plastic bullets is no more
14:12Now it's Tiger Spot
14:15Battle lasers
14:17Lots of little boxes marked TNT
14:21And the twenty marching plastic soldiers
14:25Have become reality
14:30Stick grenades
14:32And German pistols
14:34And the Tommy Gun's new models
14:38And jets in the sky
14:40Sinking ships down on the sea
14:42Nearly every country's got a howl
14:46It's Billy's funeral
14:49Check the hall out
14:51Everybody shed a tear
14:55He's wrapped in string and bright red ribbons
14:59His whole family's gathered here
15:04It's Billy's funeral
15:08It's Billy's funeral
15:13And it could have been you
15:15And it could have been you
15:17And it could have been me
15:39Penny
15:45I've drowned
15:52And many are the ones
15:56Gone to ground
16:03Down
16:10Not even bothering to die
16:15Or live
16:21Or live
16:45Ooh
17:00Sign
17:05Without colour
17:08Forever grey
17:12Afternoons
17:20Monotone
17:27Never rises or falls
17:31Never rises or falls
17:37Do you?
17:43Do you?
18:01Do you?
18:07Do you?
18:30Catatonic heart
18:37Staring numbly into space
18:39Outside the garbage hell race
18:41Outside of heaven's embrace
18:44There ain't no reward for a post hole ditch digger
18:48They try to take it here
18:50Something large they might hide in the pockets of their souls
18:53But the pockets have large holes
18:56And they come once again to St. Peter empty handed
18:59And the catatonic heart in the warm of isolation
19:02Turns around and returns to the presence desolation
19:05And moves on where there is no movement
19:08Truly septum heart we're standing still yet we run
19:11We're running, running till we drop
19:13And as we bounce once again
19:15Know the grace of morning rising from inside
19:18To break the beat of the catatonic heart
19:20Staring deeply into heaven not this hell
19:22And speaking songs without a pattern
19:24Just a vaguely unfamiliar setting
19:26Remembering our birth
19:28And then forgetting in the heat of the running
19:30So scared still we walk with a prayer to God
19:32Like honey on the lips
19:34To be returned to the one who made us all
19:36And like that prayer we go ourselves
19:38To become once again the living heart
19:40Of a world turning slowly in the sun
19:42It's more than words
19:44Take the ring
19:46Stretch in prayer and raise yourselves
19:48So that I speak more than movements in the wind
19:50The feeling high, reaching, touch, making faster
19:53Stretching over chasm sounds
19:55Being pushed to a limit
19:57Breaking rules, the rules of men
19:59Makes no sense, says Oroger on the corner of a thought
20:01Trying to balance, trying to make out what I'm saying
20:04Looking hard with his eyes and not his heart
20:06See, try, refocus the energy
20:08Question loud, watch the pen, watch the pen, watch the pen
20:12Moving quicker than silly words could ever reach
20:15Deeper, deeper, deeper, deeper, deeper, deeper
20:20High
20:23High
20:29The highway runs from here to there
20:31And if you and I start now
20:33I believe we'll win this race for the sun
20:36If you dare, I'll teach us how
20:38And should you falter in your step
20:41Or stumble in the run
20:43We'll arm and hand together go
20:45In our race to touch the sun
20:48In our race to touch the sun
20:53In our race to touch the sun
21:05There's a light in the deepest darkness
21:11Though hidden, it may be from your view
21:17It's waiting to be awakened
21:23It's waiting to be awakened in you
21:29May be here be dragons
21:35But the Lord is my shepherd
21:38The resurrection and the life
21:44The resurrection and the life
21:54Of the world
22:07I know you, you suffer oh so softly
22:14Put your head upon my shoulder now
22:19When the anger strikes, we'll be together
22:25Maybe we'll win through somehow
22:31Someone should have warned us
22:37That bad guys can wear white and smile
22:42While they're taking a sin
22:45Smile while they're leading a sin
23:15La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
23:20La-la-la-la-la-la-la
23:24La-la-la-la-la-la-la
23:28Yeah
23:32Yeah
