Prologue |
In the event of my demise |
Be sure to include this statement |
When you are bent on closing my eyes |
Thinking about what my life meant |
Alone on a hill back in '65 |
Things looked a lot like changing |
Singing our songs that we harmonized |
Dreaming of worlds rearranging |
And I don’t know why I’m singing tonight |
Maybe it’s time someone told you |
Just because you say you’ve seen the light |
Doesn’t mean nobody sold you |
I can remember all of your smiles |
During the demonstrations |
Taking on what seemed like the whole world |
Igniting the hearts of our nations |
And together we sang our victory songs |
Though we were worlds apart |
Every thing then has now passed away |
Except for the love in my heart |
Sitting at home on computerized beds |
Tryine to come to conclusions |
Seeing reflections from rose-colored heads |
Ignoring the states of illusion |
Drunk in a world of material wealth |
No one can notice you falling |
Fantastic flights once good tor your health |
Now make you deaf to your calling |
And all alone the prophet groans |
With words as yet unseen |
Who’ll be awake when the master returns |
Who will be lost in their dreams |
So in the event of my demise |
8e sure to include this statement |
Only the words of love kept alive |
Are worthy of not being wasted |
