Jon Anderson - Sunlight

[John Vehadija]

Sunlight

Each word became the very light
That talked about the very clear sign
There was the most divine initiation flying round time
As their excuses side your very elementary life

Shining for the spell to offer more
Get up and feel the forest opening inside of you
Ancient is the story marching up
To open up the very heart of you
As they would ever see you

The darkest days are far behind inside the river
You must imagine that there is no future yet

Until the key of life it shines upon you
Until the magic key of listening comes through
That listening all around you spiraling all forces
That you could never ever never know
Until you regain your initiation

They call it sunlight
Sunlight
Soul light
Bright light
They call it sunlight
Sunlight
Soul light
Forever x3

[John Vehadija]

Jon Anderson - Without You

Show me the sign, to see
To gather moment of knowing that you, would know
Knowing to honor the life, you give me

Speak, like the first day, we learn
Knowing that you will be leaving the perfect sky
Knowing that I can’t survive without you
Without you

Jon Anderson - Message

Good friend of mine he asked me would I sing tomorrow
About the wonders and revelations of today
I looked around and realized everything was nature
Everything is close and far away

The rhythm of the world is slowly spinning awkward
We dance around the words we cannot say
Is there a message every moment that we listen
Is there a message in the world we see today

Jon Anderson - Sleep

How many days is it long enough?
How many days is it good to die?
How many ways don’t you understand?
Just what they’re putting us through is evil
You could never know

Change we must
The time is clear

How many days is it long enough
How many days is it good to die

Sleep is death little sister
Sleep is death little sister
Sleep is death little sister
Be brave of dying

Don’t be afraid of dying
Don’t be afraid of dying

Don’t be afraid of dying
Showing the way

Jon Anderson - Showing The Way

Many for us, many to share
All of the perfect design
Take what you shall
Know that they will
Make it forever time

For all is forever
For all us together
For all is forever
For the love of forgiving
Love of surrender
Know that it’s all in our hearts

Many of us be together
We offer the silence in changes
We shall be loved shall be freedom
As we can imagine the way
For all see the light
See the light, showing the way
For all see the light
Be the light, showing the way

Jon Anderson - This Time

This time, this day, the song we hear
It's time, it's time, it's time

We look, the sun, the sign will come
We look, the sun, the sign will come

This time, this day, the song we hear

We look the sun, the sign will come
We look, the sun, the sign will come


Jon Anderson - Breathing

There are things of understanding come and clear every day
To dance around the interval of light time ways
Days of understanding that the promises have come
Secret, signals calling

Breathing, next world talking
Breathing, hear that music
Breathing, next world calling
Breathing

This was always beginning to give you love
This was always beginning to give you love

I awaken to dance in the empire of sleep
The soul of the night is awaking us
Breathing

This way always beginning to give you love
This was always beginning to give you love
Breathing
Breathing

Emotion is always always growing
Emotion of love is always growing
Emotion of love and light
I awaken to the soul and the charge of my life
To show its the path that we take

Actually, it's these types of lyrics from Jon that I really don't like. This is Jon in 'second person' and Prophet mode, preaching to us on his predictions and how we should think and behave. Of course, Jon can write what he likes, but it makes me cringe most of the time. I don't find it creative and it seems repetitive and relentless. In true evangelical style.

The Anderson lyrics I like best is when he is singing in 'first person' and especially 'third person'. Most of his 70 's and 80's lyrics were good. I loved the worlds he created in Olias, TFTO, CTTE Relayer, etc. But he went off a bit once those fairies at the bottom of his garden stated talking to him.

I know what you mean, yet I still find some sparks, put them up more like a curiosity
