[00:37.90]Some of them were dreamers
[00:43.27] And some of them were fools
[00:46.48] Who were making plans and thinking of the future
[00:55.08] With the energy of the innocent
[00:59.30] They were gathering the tools
[01:03.77] They would need to make their journey back to nature
[01:12.65] While the sand slipped through the opening
[01:17.17] And their hands reached for the golden ring
[01:21.74] With their hearts they turned to each other's heart for refuge
[01:30.89] In the troubled years that came before the deluge
[01:40.69] Some of them knew pleasure
[01:46.34] And some of them knew pain
[01:48.60] And for some of them it was only the moment that mattered
[01:57.39] And on the brave and crazy wings of youth
[02:01.87] They went flying around in the rain
[02:06.45] And their feathers, once so fine, grew torn and tattered
[02:14.94] And in the end they traded their tired wings
[02:19.72] For the resignation that living brings
[02:24.05] And exchanged love's bright and fragile glow
[02:28.82] For the glitter and the rouge
[02:33.50] And in the moment they were swept before the deluge
[02:40.75] Now let the music keep our spirits high
[02:49.75] And let the buildings keep our children dry
[02:56.10] Let creation reveal it's secrets by and by
[03:03.73] By and by--
[03:08.46] When the light that's lost within us reaches the sky
[03:18.51] Some of them were angry
[03:22.04] At the way the earth was abused
[03:26.41] By the men who learned how to forge her beauty into power
[03:35.41] And they struggled to protect her from them
[03:40.13] Only to be confused
[03:43.99] By the magnitude of her fury in the final hour
[03:52.46] And when the sand was gone and the time arrived
[03:57.04] In the naked dawn only a few survived
[04:01.81] And in attempts to understand a thing so simple and so huge
[04:10.47] Believed that they were meant to live after the deluge
[04:18.15] Now let the music keep our spirits high
[04:27.07] And let the buildings keep our children dry
[04:33.45] Let creation reveal it's secrets by and by
[04:40.99] By and by--
[04:45.53] When the light that's lost within us reaches the sky
