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 |
