the flight of the moorglade

Jon Anderson

And the slightest confrontation
Was dissolved before the start
Each man
Belonged
To each as one clear hand

Asking only comfort creation
Be divided to the least
Each man
Open
Set sights to new lands

And do remember you
The first to venture
First to gain
Exploring daylight
Clearer than the Tallowplanic view

And there they were inside
the Moorglade to move and to chant
all through force to position

As rhythm raced inside the ship came alive
as was struck to the soul of perception

And raised our head to space
Beyond all the mass of the mountains

The sun they were headed
H e a d e d

Word of life rejoice the sunlight
Course the flower to open wide
Open
They ride
Climb into the dark sky

Such a moment kindly lingered
The set sail from Tallowcross

A light
To lead you
Is taken form the massland to the east
As words are spoken
All courage will be the token
As the feast
Wide eyed removing
The precious moment we have seen
