And the meek shall inherit the earth We've taken care of everything The words you read, the songs you sing The pictures that give pleasure to your eye It's one for all, and all for one We work together, common son Never need to wonder how or why We are the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx Our great computers fill the hallowed halls We are the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx All the gifts of life are held within our walls Look around at this world we've made Equality, our stock-in-trade Come and join the Brotherhood of Man Oh, what a nice, contented world Let the banners be unfurled Hold the Red Star proudly high in hand We are the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx Our great computers fill the hallowed halls We are the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx All the gifts of life are held within our walls What can this strange device be? When I touch it, it gives forth a sound It's got wires that vibrate and give music What can this thing be that I found? See how it sings like a sad heart And joyously screams out its pain Sounds that build high like a mountain Or notes that fall gently like rain I can't wait to share this new wonder The people will all see its light Let them all make their own music The Priests praise my name on this night I know it's most unusual to come before you so But I've found an ancient miracle I thought that you should know Listen to my music and hear what it can do There's something here as strong as life I know that it will reach you Yes, we know, it's nothing new, it's just a waste of time We have no need for ancient ways, the world is doing fine Another toy that helped destroy the elder race of man Forget about your silly whim, it doesn't fit the plan, no! I can't believe you're saying these things just can't be true Our world could use this beauty, just think what we might do Listen to my music and hear what it can do There's something here that's as strong as life I know that it will reach you Don't annoy us further! Oh, we have our work to do Just think about the average, what use have they for you? Another toy that helped destroy the elder race of man Forget about your silly whim, it doesn't fit the plan! I wandered home through silent streets And fell into a fitful sleep Escape to realms beyond the night Dream, can't you show me the light? I stand atop a spiral stair An oracle confronts me there He leads me on light years away Through astral nights, galactic days I see the works of gifted hands That grace this strange and wondrous land I see the hand of man arise With hungry mind and open eyes They left our planets long ago The elder race still learn and grow Their power grows with purpose strong To claim the home where they belong Home to tear the Temples down, home to change! The sleep is still in my eyes, the dream is still in my head I heave a sigh and sadly smile and lie awhile in bed I wish that it might come to pass, not fade like all my dreams Just think of what my life might be in a world like I have seen! I don't think I can carry on, carry on this cold and empty life Oh, no! My spirits are low in the depths of despair My lifeblood… spills over Attention all Planets of the Solar Federation Attention all Planets of the Solar Federation Attention all Planets of the Solar Federation We have assumed control We have assumed control We have assumed control

Our first stop is in Bogota To check Columbian fields The natives smile and pass along A sample of their yield Sweet Jamaican pipe dreams Golden Acapulco nights Then Morocco, and the East, Fly by morning light We're on the train to Bangkok Aboard the Thailand Express We'll hit the stops along the way We only stop for the best Wreathed in smoke in Lebanon We burn the midnight oil The fragrance of Afghanistan Rewards a long day's toil Pulling into Katmandu Smoke rings fill the air Perfumed by a Nepal night The Express gets you there We're on the train to Bangkok Aboard the Thailand Express We'll hit the stops along the way We only stop for the best (x3)

All of the seasons And all of the days All of the reasons Why I've felt this way So long So long Then lost in that feeling I looked in your eyes I noticed emotion And that you had cried For me I can see What would touch me deeper Tears that fall from eyes That only cry? Would it touch you deeper Than tears that fall from eyes That know why? A lifetime of questions Tears on your cheek I tasted the answers And my body was weak For you The truth

Waiting for the winds of change To sweep the clouds away Waiting for the rainbow's end To cast its gold your way Countless ways You pass the days Waiting for someone to call And turn your world around Looking for an answer to The question you have found Looking for An open door You don't get something for nothing You can't have freedom for free You won't get wise with the sleep still in your eyes No matter what your dreams might be (x2) What you own is your own kingdom What you do is your own glory What you love is your own power What you live is your own story In your head is the answer Let it guide you along Let your heart be the anchor And the beat of your own song You don't get something for nothing You can't have freedom for free You don't get something for nothing You can't have freedom for free
