Flight of the Moorglade

Jon Anderson

+ The Flight of the Moorglade +
And the slightest confrontation
way dissolved before the start
each man
belonged
to each as one clear hand.
Asking only comfort creation
he divided to the heart
each man
open
set sights to new lands.
and do remember you
The first to venture
first to gain
exploring daylight
clearer than the Talloplanic view
and there they were inside
the Moorglade to move and to chant
all through force to position
as rhythm raced inside the ship came alive
and was struck to the soul of perception
and raised our head to space
beyond all the mass mountains
the sun they were headed
h e a d e d
Word of life rejoice the sunlight
course the flower to open wide
open
they ride
climb into the dark sky
such a moment kindly lingered
they set sail from Tallowcross
(A light to lead you
is taken from the massland to the East.
As words are spoken
all courage be the token
as the feast.)
Wide Eyed Removing
the precious moment we have seen...

Hold my life
cross the path
course and curl my dreams away
Fast the soul
make the break
as even as the stars that form the way
Rider
Turn a mountain send them lost
among the flowers of the young
Turn a mountain send them lost
among the flowers of the young
Rider Rider Rider
Hold my life
cross the path
course and curl my dreams away
Fast the soul
make the break
as even as the stars that form the way
Rider Rider Rider Rider Rider

Worlds that lie between
are simply seconds of words we do not mean.
Cast a pastel sky
or simply wonder until the day you die.
Eyes have never seen
so pass your future caressing all you've been.
all you say
all you dreamed
all memory awaken
+ Chords +
Olias all surrounding the storm
To caress all who fall,
amidst, loves light
shine out
call
so brightly to each tribe came release
higher dreams o'er took the smallest hands
crystallized inside a sleep
close your eyes
only wait for the call
close your eyes
the Moorglade she will sail to the north
all around will delight our eyes
now as one
we'll sound our lives to the sun
as we wait for the call
to ascend to the stars
all to enter your heart
to your love
to your love
to your love
to your love
Through change of dawn
see, peace will come
peace will reign
all along our days
see your love
see your love
see your love
