The Prophet Lyrics by Yes

The Prophet Lyrics

    Long ago a tall man told a tale of yesterday,
    Searching for the truth to life and not for just a way.
    Finding pleasure from this house his ears, they did obey;
    In his life a moment's pleasure, never to delay.
    He was lost and in his trust he found a new meaning;
    Seeing the things in diff'rent lights his life was redeemed.

    Words of peace will fill his mind and change his way of life;
    Peaceful meetings with his heart have made him more alive.
    Meeting wise old women on the cliffs of life itself;
    Asking not for pers'nal meaning, more for just himself.
    Soon we'll be as he proclaimed in a new way of living;
    Take the things you need in life but remember the giving.

    Prophesy within your mind and you will work it out;
    Prophesy that some will die but only those who doubt.
    Then you'll never worry as somtimes you used to do;
    Just remember when you're gone there's someone after you, you.
