Jon Anderson - incoming (2010)
from his album:survival & other stories
They come in sacred ways before the sunlight
They come through sacred worlds in stories full of real life
They come in sacred moves that send them flying over you
They come in sacred moves and purpose slowly take like fire like too
With every mountain they invite the sacred song
Within the very lore of being now, now...
So full of wisdom so descend upon this mantra life
They come in sacred moves that turn around and touch you closely
They turn the sacred way the thought is of the first time knowing
So reach out when they are calling
Take the time to even notice they are part of you
For the finding of the secret you can always rediscover it true...
They come in moonlight all the more because they like to
Soon, soon, soon, soon, soon, soon, soon, soon, soon, soon, soon, soon, soon...
Of all the takes and dances of the bitter stone
Of all the fixes and corruption we are ever to see
How the bridge now delivers, the breaking of man
All ever to the sinner life ever total time
Take a drink from this better life
Take a drink from this better life
Better by far...
They call it seeing of the children's life thirst for love
They call it take away the children's fear of life
Call it 'this time' first time, changing the signs
They call it seeing the children for the very first time
Call it 'that, that river of eternal bliss'
Call it quintessential time
Call it 'everything is light'
Call it this time, this time...
Discovery of the silver moonlight turning too
Discovery of the days of happening through to you
Discovery of the days of happening close to you
Discover all the things are coming coming round
They call it days of wonder
They call it every day is calling calling round
They call it 'children of the diamond life'
For giving us light
Forever changing our design
Forever to be sung
For all we see, for all the savior, they're calling us
Sent us giving love, sent us giving love...

Everywhere is freaks and hairies
Dykes and fairies, tell me where is sanity
Tax the rich, feed the poor
Till there are no rich no more
Id love to change the world
But I dont know what to do
So Ill leave it up to you
Population keeps on breeding
Nation bleeding, still more feeding economy
Life is funny, skies are sunny
Bees make honey, who needs money, monopoly
Id love to change the world
But I dont know what to do
So Ill leave it up to you
World pollution, theres no solution
Institution, electrocution
Just black and white, rich or poor
Them and us, stop the war
Id love to change the world
But I dont know what to do
So Ill leave it up to you
You've got me girl on the run around run around
You've got me all around town
You've got me girl on the run around
And it's getting me down, getting me down
Lady if you want to find a lover
Then you look no further
For I'm gonna be your only
Searching at the start of the season
And my only reason
Is that i´ll get to you
I´ll find some way of connection
Hiding my intention
Then i´ll move up close to you
I´ll use you and i´ll confuse you
And the i´ll lose you
Still you won't suspect me
Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow.
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!
On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore.
Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
How soft your fields so green, can whisper tales of gore,
Of how we calmed the tides of war. We are your overlords.
On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore.
So now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins,
For peace and trust can win the day despite of all your losing.
