Who are you? Another dream?
Or just a ghost of yesterday?
I've lived one hundred years today
I know I've seen you here before
Been thinking on my younger days
Wish I may, I wish I might
Instead of sleeping late at night
In dreams I fly across the world
And here I simply look within
You're never really out of sight
Yellow flowers flame to life
Swaying on the mountain top
Where I saw you many years ago
Just before the sky fell down
The falling stars were all around
And you took your place up in the air
Heaven as you shine so bright
I think of how we never said goodbye
On the day the world turned upside down
Every night I see you rise above me
Silver light that shines upon the wave
Carving out a path for me to sail if I am true
Calling me to shelter if I'm brave
The last time I saw a face that I knew
The light that let me see them came from you
oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh
Let the same light guide me home
Tell me that they're waiting, waiting still
This morning as the sun arose I turned and looked away
I've travelled west beneath the stars
The desert heat I can't bare it all alone
But the moon has a softer glow
I go to find where my father lived
Across the sandy plains
Wish I could know the old man
Like I know the lonely sky
I believe I'm on my way
I can hear him say my name
I believe I'm on my way
I can hear him call my name
There's a long long way before I'm done
I carry on, carry on
Tell me that the change has begun
The last burning light before the sun
I'll meet you down on he mountain side
Tell me your tale, I'll tell you mine
