A long time ago, in a far away land
Theo was the man who learned to understand The riches of the earth And all that it was worth The first man that ever tried to stand with his own plan Now this man was all about the wind rain and trees He knew that it would take care of all of his families Now Ion was the son who spent his nights and days Looking for all kinds of ways to get his father's praise In all daddy's ways he just wanted to impress Make it faster, stronger is what he tried to stress Sofia was the girl Living in her own world She found love and joy with a young sky boy Sky boys were seen as less to the rest So it would seem Sofia went into the woods to daydream With love in her eyes Her own father would despise Her love for the young sky boy he would destroy Feet in the earth Heads in the sky We watch the world go by Feet in the earth Heads in the sky We watch as life goes by When Theo was gone, his son Ion took the power And in his daddy's name, he built the biggest strongest tower The earth people and sky people divided by machines And the ones who had nothing were the ones who had the wings The sky boy just wanted everything to be equal From full-time lover to now fighting for his people Now Beth was the mom Who really loved to weave She couldn't believe her own son would decieve The sky people got hungry and their welfare was ignored She let them in the tower and the bloody battle roared Down came iron and the tower fell as well The dark days were over and the sky people's hell Feet in the earth Heads in the sky We watch the world go by Feet in the earth Heads in the sky We watch as life goes by Sofia and the sky boy had long been kept apart Sofia grief was faded it was joy that filled her heart Wrapped in his loving wings Sofia took her man So the earth and sky united It was all father's plan Theo kept an acorn Sofia had carefully safely saved It was planted in the ground that her brother had once paved With a rustling and a creaking an unearthly sound Something big started growing right out of the fertile ground It was the biggest tree that any of the people ever seen And it covered up the sky with a layer of leafy green Then it rained and it rained and they watched the waters rise Then Sofia led her people to the safety of the skies Feet in the earth Heads in the sky We watch the world go by Feet in the earth Heads in the sky We watch as life goes by She climbed and she climbed But never giving up So pregnant and exhausted Finally made it to the top She looked into the sky and the world began to turn And with a single cry a new baby had arrived With OVO in his nest, everyone one had done their best To prepare for the world and every single test Soon he was blessed and as his mother stood by He was soon released and sailed off into the sky |

In the big house
Where the sun lives With the walls so white and blue In the red soil All the green grows And the winds blow across your face They blow across your heart It's the time of the turning and there's something stirring outside It's the time of turning and we'd better learn to say our goodbyes All the earth breaks Like a stale bread And the seeds are folded in the soil Oh the sun pours Then the rains fall While the roots reach out right through the ground They reach out through the ground It's the time of turning and there's something stirring outside It's the time of turning and the old world's falling Nothing you can do can stop the next emerging Time of the turning and we'd better learn to say our goodbyes If we can stand up When all else falls down We'll last through the winter We'll last through the storms We'll last through the north winds That bring down the ice and snow We'll last through the long nights Till the green field's growing again Growing again |

Father, son Locked as one In this empty room Spine against spine Yours against mine Till the warmth comes through Remember the breakwaters down by the waves I first found my courage Knowing daddy could save I could hold back the tide With my dad by my side Dogs, plows and bows We move through each pose Struggling in our separate ways Mantras and hymns Unfolding limbs Looking for release through the pain And the yogi's eyes are open Looking up above He too is dreaming of his daddy's love With his dad by his side Got his dad by his side Can you recall How you took me to school We couldn't talk much at all It's been so many years And now these tears Guess I'm still your child Out on the moors We take a pause See how far we have come You're moving quite slow How far can we go Father and son With my dad by my side With my dad by my side Got my dad by my side With me |

There's a bomb in the basement
There's a knocking on the wall In the popping of the piston, I swear I have no call There's a bomb in the basement There's a hole in the floor There's a guard in the garden, knocking on the door There's a rebel in the south guards No shedding at the sound Then the rackets if he know me, begging on the ground Feel the building all around me Like a rattle on the skin Then the moment your breath kicks in, its always trapped within Tell it like it is, till there's no misunderstanding When you strip it right back Man feed machine, machine feed man Tell it like it is, till there's no misunderstanding Make up what you lack Man feed machine, machine feed man |

Mamma's little boy has fallen down,
Mamma's little boy has hit the ground. Now he's gone, Ian is gone, his time is done. The weight of a dream can take you down. White, white ashes, building crashes down. So well, pretend it's all well conceived, Build solid as steel, stuff we believe. Now he's gone. Ian is gone, his time is done. The weight of a dream can bring you down. The weight of a dream can bring you down. White, white ashes, building crashes down. White, white ashes, building crashes down. Mamma's little boy, doing good. Mamma's little boy did all he could. Now he's gone, Ian is gone, time is done. The weight of a dream can bring you down. The weight of a dream can bring you down. White, white ashes, building crashes down White, |

I looked up at the tallest building
Felt it falling down I could feel my balance shifting Everything was moving around These streets so fixed and solid Ah shimmering haze And everything that I relied on disappeared Downside up, upside down Take my weight from the ground Falling deep in the sky Slipping in the unknown All the strangers look like family All the family looks so strange The only constant I am sure of Is this accelerating rate of change Downside up, upside down Take my weight off the ground Falling deep in the sky Slipping in the unknown I stand here Watch you spinning Until I am drawn in A centripetal force You pull me in Pull me in Pull me in Pull me in Pull me in Pull me in ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo Downside up Upside down Take my weight off the ground Falling deep in the sky Slipping into the unknown |

Put on the dress in which you were married
Pull down the veil til your eyes are hid Can you remember where we both came from Let us do as we did Look at tomorrow today Making tomorrow today Making tomorrow today Making tomorrow today Make tomorrow Make tomorrow Make tomorrow today Make tomorrow Make tomorrow Make tomorrow today Put back the photo under your window Put down the phone that you hold in your hand Put away these things that stand in between us Let us be what we can When it seems Hopeless When it seems Hopeless Make tomorrow Make tomorrow Make tomorrow today Make tomorrow Make tomorrow Make tomorrow today Make tomorrow Make tomorrow Make tomorrow today What better measure of what you were doing here Then what you can leave behind All the children of your children's children Do you ever think what they're going to find Make tomorrow Make tomorrow Where the sacred meet the scared Make tomorrow Make tomorrow Where the dreamer's dream is dared In each of us A dream can burn like the sun Let's try it all one more time To get this lesson learned Sitting up in a spaceship Looking down at the earth You wonder what they all struggling for What's it all really worth Making tomorrow today Making tomorrow today Make tomorrow Make tomorrow |
