Burning Bridges, Pink Floyd

Bridges burning gladly
Merging with the shadows,
Flickering between the lines.
Stolen moments floating softly on the air,
Borne on wings of fire and climbing higher.

Ancient bonds are breaking,
Moving on and changing sides.
Dreaming of a new day,
Cast aside the other way.
Magic visions stirring,
Kindled by and burning flames rise in her eyes.

The doorway stands ajar,
The walls that once were high.
Beyond the gilded cage,
Beyond the reach of ties.
The moment is at hand.
She breaks the golden band.

Believe Again, Yes

Yes, Step Beyond 2014

You told me so
If I don’t let go
I’d never know
The joy freedom brings

I told you so
As the grass will grow
Turn your hand
Back to the land

As the sun will shine
In the moon’s decline
There’s a truth to hear
So open wide

If your mind is still
There’s no bitter pill
When you reach
When you reach that hill

Beg, steal, rob, run, hide
Beg, steal, no disguise

Take one step beyond
One step beyond

Why such resistance
To reach out from behind our walls?
Elevated pride leads to a fall
We settle for small, blind identity
Forgetting all that we truly are
Get up off that shelf
Make the bold, the brave leap
outside yourself
Beyond…

You told me so
If I don’t let go
I’d never know
The joy freedom brings
I told you so
As the grass will grow
Turn your hand
Back to the land

As the sun will shine
In the moon’s decline
There’s a truth to hear
So open wide
If your mind is still
There’s no bitter pill
When you reach
When you reach that hill

Beg, steal, rob, run, hide
Beg, steal, no disguise

Take one step beyond
One step beyond
Beyond…

Pink Floyd , Echoes

Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves in labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant tide
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine

And no one showed us to the land
And no one knows the where's or why's
But something stirs and something tries
And starts to climb towards the light

Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand the best I can
And no one calls us to move on
And no one forces down our eyes
No one speaks
And no one tries
No one flies around the sun

Cloudless every day you fall upon my waking eyes
Inviting and inciting me to rise
And through the window in the wall
Come streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning

And no one sings me lullabies
And no one makes me close my eyes
So I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky.
