Virgin land of forest green, dark and stormy plains, here all life abounds
Sunlit valley, mountain fields, unseen in the rain, here all life abounds
No man rules this land, no human hand has soiled this paradise
Waiting patiently, so much to see, so rich in Earth´s delights

Painted desert, sequined sky, stars that fill the night, here all life abounds
Rivers flowing to the sea, sunshine pure and bright, here all life abounds
No man rules this land, no human hand has soiled this paradise
Waiting patiently, so much to see, so rich in Earth´s delights

So the maiden lies in waiting, for the sails to reach the shore
Land of beauty and abundance, innocent, you opened wide your door
Wanderers found the waiting treasure, full of gifts beyond their measure
Milk and honey for our pleasure.....

Across the sea there came a multitude, sailing ships upon the wave
Filled with visions of Utopia, and the freedom that they crave
Ravage, plunder, see no wonder, rape and kill and tear asunder
Chop the forest, plow it under.....

Highways scar the mountainsides, buildings to the sky, people all around
Houses stand in endless rows, sea to shining sea, people all around
So we rule this land, and here we stand upon our paradise,
Dreaming of a place, our weary race is ready to arise

I heard the men saying something
The captains tell they pay you well
And they say they need sailing men to
Show the way, and leave today
Was it you that said, "How long, how long"

They say the sea turns so dark that
You know it´s time, you see the signs
They say the point demons guard is
An ocean grave, for all the brave,
Was it you that said, "How long, how long,
How long to the point of Know Return"

Your father, he said he needs you
Your mother, she says she loves you
Your brothers, they echo your words:
"How far to the Point of Know Return"
Well, how long

Today I found a message floating
In the sea from you to me
It said that when you could see it
You cried with fear, the Point was near
Was it you that said, "How long, how long
How long to the Point of Know Return

I´m on fire
Burning with the question in my mind
Strange desire
Seems there´s nothing else for me to find

´Cause I´ve been here, and I´ve been there,
Seems like I´ve been everywhere before
I´ve seen it all a hundred times
Still I think there surely must be more

I´ve been livin´, I had to take my time and change my style
Now I wonder is something gonna make it all worthwhile

I know there´s more than meets the eye
Like to see it ´fore I die f or sure.
Something tells me it´s all right
Only one step farther to the door

There ain´t no feelin´, feels the same as findin´ out the key
Now I´m reelin´, thinking of the things that I might see

I´m not afraid to face the light
I´m not afraid to think that I might fall
I was going nowhere fast
I was needing something that would last

He had a thousand ideas, you might have heard his name
He lived alone with his vision
Not looking for fortune or fame
Never said too much to speak of
He was off on another plane
The words that he said were a mystery
Nobody´s sure he was sane

But he knew, he knew more than me or you
No one could see his view, Oh where was he going to

He was in search of an answer
The nature of what we are
He was trying to do it a new way
He was bright as a star
But nobody understood him
"His numbers are not the way"
He´s lost in the deepest enigma
Which no one´s unraveled today

But he knew, he knew more than me or you
No one could see his view, Oh where was he going to
And he tried, but before he could tell us he died
When he left us the people cried,
Oh where was he going to

He had a different idea
A glimpse of the master plan
He could see into the future
A true visionary man
But there´s something he never told us
It died when he went away
If only he could have been with us
No telling what he might say

But he knew, he knew more than me or you
No one could see his view
Oh, where was he going to
But he knew, you could tell by the picture he drew
It was totally something new,
Oh where was he going to

Kerry Livgren)

Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond the illusion
I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high
Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could thnk I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I´m dreamin´, I can hear them say

CHORUS
Carry on my wayward son,
For there´ll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don´t you cry no more

Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don´t know
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about I´m like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune, but I hear the voices say

CHORUS

Carry on, you will always remember
Carry on, nothing equals the splendor
Now your life´s no longer empty
Surely heaven waits for you

CHORUS
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Two began together, lived as one
Each one to the other had become
More than a friend, living to meet a common end
They were true, each one knew all is well

Still the elder knew it could not last
Hidden memories from the young one´s past
Drew them apart
Both knew that deep within his heart they must part
Each their own separate way

It puzzles me how we can be so close and yet worlds apart
Can it be, my memory has torn my life in two
From the very start
I screamed for the devil to let me be
I called to the heavens to set me free
Today I prayed for the answer and not one
Of the gods in the sky would rescue me

Dreams of fortune fill the young one´s mind
Learn the worldly ways of hope to find
Love on the way, searching to find the light of day
In his soul he had found his own way

But to each other they soon will return
Destiny fulfilled, their words will burn an eternal flame

I close my eyes
Only for a moment
And the moment´s gone
All my dreams
Pass before my eyes a curiosity
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind

Same old song
Just a drop of water
In an endless sea
All we do
Crumbles to the ground
Though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind

Now, don´t hang on
Nothing last forever,
But the earth and sky,
It slips away
And all your money
Won´t another minute buy

Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
Dust in the wind
Everything is dust in the wind
Dust in the wind
Everything is dust in the wind.

When I´m needin´ a friend I can talk to the wind
God I sure am glad that I found him
Sometimes he seems to be the only one beside me
Who can feel the Lord´s breath all around him
Winter´s cold frozen ice or a bright autumn day
On a warm summer night you can hear him say

Cry for me, sigh for me, sad breezes flow
Stay for me, play for me, the song my friends will know
My lonely wind must blow

Mighty friend that is mine, can you give me a sign
He´ll leave nothing but only to hear him
I´ve seen the tall trees bend low when his mighty winds blow
And that´s all the more reason I fear him
Hear him call for the earth lonely I can feel his great pain
But on the eve of this day
I´ll join in his refrain

When I´m needing a friend I´ll remember the wind
And my life here with the breezes of sorrow
I´ll be leaving him soon ´cause I´ve got to make room
For the lonely that will find him tomorrow
On a black stormy night in your bosom I´ll cling
And I´ll know I´ve found love and the last song we´ll sing

Well I´m trying to tell you about a thing I thought I saw
It came to me in a dream one night
When a voice began to call
I heard my name being summoned as I looked around to see
A hooded judge and jury
There was no mercy there for me
Well I can´t make it, I just can´t figure it out
This dream is drivin´ me crazy
I gotta know what it´s all about
The mark is upon me, and the mark of Cain brings fear

A cold wind´s blowin´ right down my back
I´m runnin, I´m runnin´ from a figure that´s dressed in black
I think my legs are made out of lead
Cause I´m runnin´ but I´m going nowhere
The bad dream is coming closer and closer
I got a feelin´ he´ll always be there
Forever is a long time to spend in agony
And the demons of confusion have got a place for me
The mark is upon me, and the mark of Cain brings fear

I was tired, so tired of runnin´
I had to turn and look around
I saw eyes that looked right through me
And a voice that made no sound
My body froze and I stood and stared, unearthly face before me
From the depths of a hooded nightmare, I saw what could not be
Mysteries and mayhem from the pinnacle I see
There´s no answer when there´s no question
The mark of Cain bears hard on me

On a winter´s night, stars are cold and bright in the sky,
The slumber of the earth is pure and deep
From a distant wood, drifts the echo of a beast
The old man stirs and wakens in the night
He stands before his window gazing at the grave
Forgotten dreams are flashing through his weary mind
And though his life is empty, he pretends that she´s still there

With hunger in his soul, he yearns for life and love gone by,
With memories his one and only joy
All he has to give, he would give to bring back the life,
And raise the one who lies beneath the snow
He lights a lamp and looks at pictures of the past
The faces of their youth still glow with new-found love,
But the picture´s faded, and time has stolen youth away

With a spoken word that he thought he heard from her lips,
He felt another presence in the room,
He was filled with fear but filled with joy he arose
And turned to face the image that he knew
She stood before him and her hand reached out for his
A peaceful light shone in her eyes
She said she´d come to soothe him, and someday they´d be as one

She began to fade and her image disappeared,
So he was left alone to face the night,
Never in his life, had he been so held in awe,
As he faced the apparition of his wife
He stood before the window gazing at the grave,
And with a lightened heart he saw the first of dawn,
He knew that she was waiting, that someday they´d be as one

I´m woven in a fantasy, I can´t believe the things I see
The path that I have chosen now has led me to a wall
And with each passing day I feel a little more like something dear was lost
It rises now before me, a dark and silent barrier between,
All I am, and all that I would ever want be
It´s just a travesty, towering, marking off the boundaries my spirit would erase

To pass beyond is what I seek, I fear that I may be too weak
And those are few who´ve seen it through to glimpse the other side,
The promised land is waiting like a maiden that is soon to be a bride
The moment is a masterpiece, the weight of indecision´s in the air
It´s standing there, the symbol and the sum of all that´s me
It´s just a travesty, towering, blocking out the light and blinding me
I want to see

Gold and diamonds cast a spell, it´s not for me I know it well
The treasures that I seek are waiting on the other side
There´s more that I can measure in the treasure of the love that I can find
And though it´s always been with me, I must tear down the Wall and let it be
All I am, and all that I was ever meant to be, in harmony
Shining true and smiling back at all who wait to cross
There is no loss

This foolish game, oh it´s still the same
The notes go dancin´ off in the air
And don´t you believe it´s true, the music is all for you
It´s really all we´ve got to share
Cause Rockin´ and Rollin´, it´s only howlin´ at the Moon.
It´s only howlin´ at the Moon
