(Tom Johnston)
|
Deep as a river, wide as the sea
|
Changin' the ways of a captain and me
|
I could be happy, Lord, so then should he
|
If all of the universe unveiled itself to me
|
So then a day flows into night
|
Down the street the beggar man who finds himself in wine
|
If I am a good man and sure in all my ways
|
The captain of a starship that's homeward bound today
|
Growin', growin', changin' ev'ry day
|
Knowin', showin' all my worldly ways
|
Hear the chimes, hear how they ring
|
Marking time all through the day
|
|
A whisper, an answer, a cry in the night
|
Break down, turn around, a feeling of fright
|
The Indian, the Black Man, the Asian who see
|
A door that is opening, and they're goin' to be free
|
|
Growin', growin', changin' ev'ry day
|
Knowin', showin' all my worldly ways
|
Hear the chimes, hear how they ring
|
Marking time all through the day
|
|
We are all acceptable, we are all a place in time
|
Moving through a passageway, bringing forth the end of time
|
Growin', growin', changin' ev'ry day
|
Knowin', showin' all my worldly ways
|
Hear the chimes, hear how they ring
|
Marking time all through the day
|
Light the fire, start the day, mark the light that shows the way
|
Changing times of fortunes past, we will all be free at last
|
|
We are the people of the round about
|
We are the sails upon the sea
|
We're gonna be there when ev'ry body laughs about
|
The way that we are changin', you and me, yeah
|
We are the people of the round about
|
We are the sails upon the sea
|
We're gonna be there when ev'ry body laughs about
|
The way that we are changin', you and me, yeah
|
We are the people of the round about
|
We are the sails upon the sea
