Lyrics
Find another songLong ago a tall man told
a tale of yesterday,
Searching for the truth to life
and not for just the way.
Finding pleasure from the sounds
his ears, they did obey;
In his life a moment's pleasure,
never to delay.
He was lost
and in his trust
he found a new meaning;
Seeing things
in diff'rent lights
his life was redeeming.
Words of peace would fill his mind
and change his way of life;
Peaceful meetings with his heart
have made him more alive.
Meeting wise old women
on the cliffs of life itself;
Asking more for first time meaning,
more for just himself.
Soon we'll be
as he proclaimed
in a new way of living;
Take the things
you need in life
but remember the giving.
Prophesy within your mind
and you will work it out;
Prophesy that some will die
but only those who doubt.
Then you'll never worry
as sometimes you used to do;
Just remember when you're gone
there's someone after you.
You.
