Carry on Wayward Son
K.Livgren

Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond the illusion
I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high
Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreamin'
I can hear them say

Carry on my Wayward son
For there'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Now don't you cry no more

Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man, it surely
means that I don't know
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune, but I hear
the voices say

Carry on, you will always remember
Carry on, nothing equals the splendor
Now your life's no longer empty
Surely heaven waits for you.

The Wall
K. Livgren/S. Walsh

I'm woven in a fantasy, I can't believe the things I see
The parth that I have chosen now has led me to a wall
And with each passing day I feel a little more
like something dear was lost
It rises now before me, a dark and silent barrier between
All I am, and all that I would ever want to be
It's just a travesty, towering, marking off the
boundaries my spirit would erase
To pass beyond is what I see, I fear that I may be too weak
And those are few who've seen it through to
glimpse the other side
The promised land is waiting like a maiden
that is soon to be a bride
The moment is a masterpiece, the weight of
indecision's in the air
It's standing there, the symbol and the sum of all that's me
It's just a travesty, towering, blocking out the
light and blinding me
I want to see
Gold and diamonds cast a spell, it's not for
me I know it well
The treasures that I seek are waiting on the other side
There's more than I can measure in the
treasure of the love that I can find
And though it's always been with me
I must tear down the Wall and let it be
All I am, and all that I was ever meant to be, is harmony
Shining true and smiling back at all who wait to cross
THERE IS NO LOSS.

El muro

What's On My Mind
K.Livgren

Well you told me that I was just not the one
And you left me standing out in the cold
It's been a long time and I'm so much better now
That I'm looking back and seeing it all
And for the first time there's no pain in my life
Though it's a long hard road that I've gone
We had a good thing and it made me a man
cause I know

You got me goin',pardon me my feelings
are showing
I'm only saying what's on my mind

Well I found you or maybe I found myself
And I think we knew it all of the time
We fit together just like a lock and a key
And we opened up each other's minds
Yeah, I was laughing 'cause there was no
room to cry
There was too much growing to do
We had a good time and it ain't over yet
'cause I know
You came from nowhere and you just jumped
in my life
And I know it never will be the same
You made me love you and now I'm home
once again
No, I never want to leave you no more
'Cause I'm attached to the better half of myself
And there's nowhere else that I'd rather be
You filled an empty, you fixed a bad broken
heart, and I know.

Miracles Out of Nowhere
K.Livgren

On a crystal morning I can see the
dewdrops falling
Down from a gleaming heaven
I can hear the voices call
When you comin' home now, son, the
world is not for you
Tell me what's your point of view
Hey there Mister Madman, what'cha know
that I don't know
Tell me some crazy stories, let me know who
runs this show
Glassy-eyed and laughing, he turns and
walks away
Tell me what made you that way

Chorus
Here I am just waiting for a sign
Asking questions, learning all the time
It's always here, it's always there
It's just love, and miracles out of nowhere

Tell me now dear Mother, what's it like to be so old
Children grown and leavin', seems the world
is growin' cold
And though your body's ailin' you, your mind
is just like new
Tell me where you're goin' to

It's so simple right before your eyes
If you'll look through this disguise
It's always here, it's always there
It's just love and miracles out of nowhere

I sang this song a hundred, maybe a thousand
years ago
No one ever listen, I just play and then I go
Off into the sunset like the western heroes do
Tell me what you're gonna do

Here I am, I'm sure to see a sign
All my life I knew that it was mine
It's always here, it's always there
It's just love and miracles out of nowhere.

Opus Insert
K.Livgren/S.Walsh

There's a reason for all that rhymes
It's the fact and the way of the times
It's moving emotion, it's high and it's low,
no matter where you go
There is something for all who look
There's a story in every book
All of the pages, between all the lines
So much that you can find
But there's too many empty lives my friend
And we just can't let them waste away
For this life is a precious thing my friend
And we just can't wait another day
There's a message in every world, and
It's more than the word you heard
It's moving emotion, it comes like a sea,
washing all over me
For there's nothing that we can't do
My friend, cause the spirit is with us all
And it's here and it's now, it's up and it's down
You can feel it surrounding us all
After all we're all the same, only
Difference is a name and where we are
In this crazy mixed up deal, there's so
Much that you can feel
Near and far it's where you are
And there's times when I can't contain
All the feelings of love I'll again
It's there for the asking, it's for all of
You if you would take it too.

Questions of My Childhood
K.Livgren/S.Walsh

When the sun is in the mind sky, ho wears
A golden crown
And the soaks the world with sunshine
As he makes another round
It's been a faster year than yesterday
All the things that I had planned
And when I think I might be gaining
I'm in the sunshine once again
Well I walk the road of life among the
Strong, among the weak
And I ask them for the shortcut to the
Answers that I see
But it seems nobody understands what
Is and what will be
Oh, the questions of my childhood
Weave a web of mystery
Can you get me through these changes?
Well I sure don't know about life, but
One thing for sure
All I need is you babe, we got to get the
Golden key to unlock the door
I don't need to face a world of disillusion
I've come to one conclusion that I know
You know is true
In the game of silent searching the cost
Of love is rising
And I'm just now realizing I'd be better off with you
It's a game that I've been living, now
I need to know what's real
Can you help me find the answers, can
You tell the way I feel?
Will you stay with me forever, just
Stay with me tonight
And we can talk a bout tomorrow if it
All works out alright.

Cheyenne Anthem
K.Livgren

From the mountains to the sun, Life has
Only just begun
We wed this land and pledge our souls
To meet its end
Life has only just begun
Here my people roam the earth, in the
Kingdom of our birth,
Where the dust of all our horses hides the sun
We are mighty on the earth, on the earth
You have come to move me, take me
From my ancient home
Land of my fathers I can't leave you now
We will share it with you, no man
Owns this earth we're on
Now the wheels are rolling, hear the
Howling winds of war
Its my destiny to fight and lie
Is there no solution, can we find no
Other way, Lord let me stay
Under the endless sky and the earth below
Here I was born to live and I will
Never go, oh no
But we cannot endure like the earth
And the mountains
Life is nor ours to keep, for a new sun is rising
Soon these days shall pass away, for
Our freedom we must pay
All our words and deeds are carried on the wind
In the ground our bodies lay, here we lay.

Howlin' at the Moon
