|
It all began with a single spark |
|
The universe the world and me |
|
That spark - it's still there, the source of living things |
|
The source of this eternity |
|
I saw the little people working there |
|
In the echoes and the chambers of my mind |
|
And i saw the lantern man as he stood so still |
|
And the child knew this gentle soul - his kindness |
|
The light went on - and he was gone |
|
But the meaning - the meaning still remained |
|
Like the fading away of a sweet familiar taste |
|
Like the cleasing of the cool summer rain |
|
I was a child then - I never understood |
|
I was a child then - but I knew more than I should |
|
We are innocent - we are ignorant |
|
We are a spark from the tinderbox |
|
The element - the miracle |
|
I had no time for the hand on my shoulder |
|
I had no time for the voices in my head |
|
I didn't even notice when the room grew even colder |
|
This was no sleight of hand this was no silver thread |
|
If there's magic in this show, it is greater than we think |
|
They tried to tell me once, to decide what I should think |
|
I am free now |
|
I am free |
|
With age brings a blindness of the spirit and the soul |
|
If only you were here now I could finally tell you |
|
I know I know! |
|
We are children - We could never understand |
|
We are dancers, we are actors we are players in the sand |
|
We are children - We could never understand |
|
We are part of this arena; we are part of this band |
|
We're a spark from the tinderbox |
|
We're a spark from the tinderbox |
