The Tinder Box |
| It all began with a single spark |
| The universe the world and me |
| That spark — it’s still there, the source of living things |
| The source of this eternity |
| I saw the little people working there |
| In the echoes and the chambers of my mind |
| And i saw the lantern man as he stood so still |
| And the child knew this gentle soul — his kindness |
| The light went on — and he was gone |
| But the meaning — the meaning still remained |
| Like the fading away of a sweet familiar taste |
| Like the cleasing of the cool summer rain |
| I was a child then — I never understood |
| I was a child then — but I knew more than I should |
| We are innocent — we are ignorant |
| We are a spark from the tinderbox |
| The element — the miracle |
| I had no time for the hand on my shoulder |
| I had no time for the voices in my head |
| I didn’t even notice when the room grew even colder |
| This was no sleight of hand this was no silver thread |
| If there’s magic in this show, it is greater than we think |
| They tried to tell me once, to decide what I should think |
| I am free now |
| I am free |
| With age brings a blindness of the spirit and the soul |
| If only you were here now I could finally tell you |
| I know I know! |
| We are children — We could never understand |
| We are dancers, we are actors we are players in the sand |
| We are children — We could never understand |
| We are part of this arena; |
| we are part of this band |
| We’re a spark from the tinderbox |
| We’re a spark from the tinderbox |
