Evening Star
I travelled to a distant shore I felt I had to go An inner voice had called me there But why I did not know I saw the evening star rise up Shining out to sea And now I understand at last what it means What it all means Evening star I can see the light Evening star Guiding me so bright I used to tempt fate I couldn't see straight I faltered through my younger days Never knowing where I was going Then something helped me penetrate the haze Evening star I can see the light Evening star Guiding me so bright Now I am stronger The haze no longer Will veil my future destiny Such inspirations and new sensations Though nothing strange has changed in me Evening star I can see the light Evening star Guiding me so bright I'm home once more, much better for The things that I have found Much wiser now, so simple how Each time I turn around I see the evening star rise up Shining out on me And now I understand at last what it means What it all means Evening star I can see the light Evening star Guiding me so bright (Guiding me) Evening star I can see the light Evening star Guiding me so bright Evening star I can see the light Evening star Guiding me so bright Evening star I can see the light Evening star Guiding me so bright

He'd had enough He couldn't take any more He found a place in his mind And slammed the door No matter how they tried They couldn't understand They washed and dressed him Fed him by hand Yeah! I've left the world behind I am safe here in my mind I'm free to speak with my own kind This is my life, this is my life I'll decide, not you Withdrawn, he'd sit there Staring into space No sign of life Would flicker on his face Until one day he smiled It seemed as though with pride The wind kissed him goodbye And then he died Yeah! I've left the world behind I am safe here in my mind Free to speak with my own kind This is my life, this is my life I'll decide, not you Keep the world with all its sin It's not fit for living in Yeah! I will start again It can take forever and ever and ever and ever But I still win How many like him Are there still? Who to us all Seem to have lost the will They lie in thousands Blank and lost Is knowledge worth This bitter cost? Yeah! I've left the world behind I am safe here in my mind Free to speak with my own kind This is my life, this is my life I'll decide, not you Keep the world with all its sin It's not fit for living in Beyond the realms of death
