Catch your breath as you watch your step
Head spinning round as you hit the ground
Present tense time is of essence
Hold the second hand going round the dial
And we got caught in the whirlwind
Torn by the storms of our lives
And just when we though we had something
It turned to dust in our eyes
By chance to see an inner light
Your wildest dreams bring a certain fright
Doubt arising from the shock
It's your head that's back on the block
And we got caught in the whirlwind
Torn by the storms of our lives
And just when we though we had something
It turned to dust in our eyes
Out on the sea on a winter's day
Looking north over skies are grey
There I can see as the winds blow high
Do the storms still rage or maybe it's my eyes
Long ago he saw the light of day
Then the wind it blew the man away
And I don't believe I wear rose colored glasses
But I believe the man is going home
Long ago he set the ship aright
Then he sailed away into the night
And I don't believe I wear rose colored glasses
But I believe the man is going home
And I know that we are more than dust and ashes
And one day we will know what we have known
But on the dark side
There are times of suffering
(And I don't believe I wear rose colored glasses)
But as the pages turn
One day we'll learn of everything
But now we see through glass...
When the ending came I said goodbye
I hope to meet him on the other side
And I don't believe I wear rose colored glasses
That I believe we have the greatest hope
(I believe we have the greatest hope)
And I'll sing this as we're scattering the ashes
I believe the man has gone back home...
(I believe the man has gone back home)
But on the dark side
There are times of suffering
(And I don't believe I wear rose colored glasses)
But as the pages turn
One day we'll learn of everything
But now we see through glass...
This world is not our home
You can live like a rollin' stone
But you cannot escape with your life
We seek a city on fire
With the heart of a child's desire
WE will cross that bridge
and enter into life....real life...
[Solo]
But on the dark side
There are times of suffering
But as the pages turn
One day we'll learn of everything
(And I don't believe I wear rose colored glasses)
But through the dark years
There are tears and suffering
But as the pages turn
One day we'll burn like lightning
In that city in the sky!
Down from the mountain top - to the river
Your deep blue secret meets the sea bed
Down from the skies - now face your forgiver
Your deep blue soul is ripe and ready
A dream of perfection of a face
Dreams to travel through time and s***e
Pieces of heaven to bring back home
Traces of evidence that we're not alone... not alone...
Down from the mothership to the groundfloor
Travel these roads with a stranger's eyes
Land and water - you feel no borders
The same old people - same old cries
A dream of perfection of a face
Dreams to travel through time and s***e
Pieces of heaven to bring back home
Traces of evidence that we're not alone
And while we wait we wage our wars
and send our sons to evermore
Is it really happening?
Is it really going to be?
Is it really happening?
Is it what our minds can see?
Is it really dangerous?

There is in the heart of the whirlwind
One who has been for all time
And he was sent to deliver
And bring forth the river of life
And we are here in the wilderness
Seeking some shelter inside
And now that it's done
Out of the whirlwind
Comes forth the true breadth of life
And from the whirlwind
comes the breath of life...
Head spinning round as you hit the ground
