Jon Anderson - Animation lyrics

rate me

When I was young I had thoughts of a kind that still linger<br />

entwined with realities reasoning<br />

I'd sit on the hill side and look out far yonder, imagine I'd easily<br />

fly away, to where? I don't know,<br />

But the imagery caught by my quick imagination would lift me<br />

my spirit to conquer a fall<br />

Well now let me tell you the simplest of stories<br />

We've all been through this moment<br />

And really we've all been<br />

Through this birth<br />

All praise this glorous chance of life<br />

All praise this wonderous feeling too<br />

All praise this time we all go through<br />

This pain This light, we bare so fast<br />

Rebirth at last<br />

And I wanted to be by my wife<br />

As she'd laboured and given<br />

The child a life, she the purest soul<br />

So I wanted to be by her side<br />

For the very first time I said<br />

For the full and simple reason<br />

Well I wanted it, well yes I did<br />

As a Mother and Father of innocence<br />

Gladly helping a child to this world<br />

There was more than relief on our minds<br />

It was like touching moments in History<br />

Not just for a memory<br />

With the help of those dear people<br />

Who could have thought for a better<br />

Reason of just wanting to be there<br />

Who could have thought for a better<br />

Reason of just wanting to be there<br />

Who could have thought for a better<br />

Reason of just wanting to be there<br />

For the full and simple reason<br />

Well I wanted it<br />

wanted it<br />

wanted to be there<br />

Out in a whispering of time<br />

Can a Mother and Child love right away<br />

Mother and Father as their right accept a reason<br />

As the child's eyes that dream on and dream a life away<br />

So the moment I thought about release of life that comes on<br />

And how hopefully wise we become with each passing day<br />

I wondered at this
