[LYRICS] YES - Magnification

[Aprilfrost]

Maginification (Jon Anderson / Steve Howe / Chris Squire / Alan White)
Days that we speak
I believe that you were right
Shouldn’t chase the demons and the phantoms of the night

Some treat as lovers
Some treat as slaves
This fusion of insight is all that we imagine

Speak to me clearly
You’re the magnet to my soul
I get so distracted trying to reason with it all
Like the faithful
I’m clinging to the edge of every world
Spinning in creation
So afraid to let my feelings really show

Teach me to teach me
How the key unlocks the door
As we open we surrender, holding hands with many more
There’s a feeling that’s coming
There’s a feeling so real
To justify, to magnify, to realize that
Everything is love

Now, after all the love you have
You can always get it back
Knowing how you really see
Knowing it will come to you
Knowing it can really be

Magnificate, magnification
Magnificate, magnification
First you’re smaller being alive
Growing taller learn to survive
Magnificate, magnification
Magnificate, magnification
First you’re smaller being alive
Growing taller learn to survive

Perception of living
I realize I’m not alone
The rings that divide
Break again upon the stone
I will show you a necklace
Where the pearls would all be lost
Without the thread between together
This would be the golden thread of trust

Speak to me, teach me
Magnify the truth you are
Waiting for the rebeginning birth of every star

A symbol is planted
On the brow of every child
To justify, to magnify
To realize that everything is love

Now giving all the love you have
You will always get it back
Giving all the love you have
You can always get it back
Giving all the love you have
Giving all the love

Magnificate, magnification
Magnificate, magnification
First you’re smaller being alive
Growing taller learn to survive


Spirit of Survival (Jon Anderson / Steve Howe / Chris Squire / Alan White)
In this world the gods have lost their way

Can’t keep this picture from out of my mind
This fear hand in hand crossing innocence, time
Surrounding creation they caught in a trap
The youngest offenders will witness confusion

They driving so fast not a care in the end
Escaping collision every twist every bend
When you’re young invincible nothing to lose
Keep seeing this picture standing in a circle
The gods have forgotten to switch on the light
Who’s lost in the dark will crash in the night

These lessons we’re living the lies of the day
Expect them to honor and never disobey
Yet greed is controlling the elders display
No wonder the younger look at them in shame

The spirit of survival
Who’s teaching the hatred
The spirit of survival
Or the class of your school
The spirit of survival
The color of your money
We’re standing in a circle
We don’t understand at all

They don’t understand at all
In this world I truly do believe there is a safer place
In this world I truly do believe there is a safer place

The younger the older the wiser become
Recover misfortune this true life as one
Our genius is shining the past has all gone
What’s left is the clearest perception of one
The spirit of survival
To magnify the power
The spirit of survival
To magnify the soul
The spirit of survival
To magnify the love
We’re standing in a circle
We don’t understand at all
We don’t understand at all

In this world the gods have lost their way
In this world the gods have lost their way


Don’t go (Jon Anderson / Steve Howe / Chris Squire / Alan White)
Don’t be so cruel hurting yourself
Don’t be so greedy making it bad
Don’t be so dark echoing out
Don’t spend the day waiting for me

After all you didn’t have to do it
You broke your own heart; it hurt you so bad
Why don’t you take your defense down a little
Or you won’t understand at all

Don’t go, don’t go let it
Don’t go, don’t go let it
Don’t take love for granted

We were supposed to be together forever
Don’t take love
We were supposed to be together forever, yeah yeah
Don’t take love

Don’t be so sad scream at the moon
Don’t let your words come out too soon
You beat yourself up
So don’t spend a day, hey, waiting for me
I can see you had to be your own father
I know he walked out on you
Hey, but that’s in the past
You see you don’t have a leg to stand on
You’re just fooling yourself again

Don’t go take it out
Don’t go let it
Don’t go take it out
Don’t go let it
Don’t take love
We were supposed to be friends forever, yeah yeah
Don’t go take it out
Don’t go let it in
We were supposed to be friends forever, yeah yeah
Don’t go take it out
We were supposed to be friends forever…

So he booked himself a trip, extended holiday
None of this always working late
The porter took him to his room; he headed for the bar
To get another drink
She got a phone call saying her lover had ran away
Just another phone call, another bad day
She packed her keys got out of town
Stole her best friend’s car
Promised he would bring it back
That’s what friends are for

Hey do me a favor call me sometime
Do a good deed
Don’t waste a minute waiting for me
Don’t take love, take take take it in
For granted, take take take it out
Don’t go, don’t go let it in
We were supposed to be together forever, forever.
Don’t take love, take take take it in
For granted, take take take it out
Don’t take love, take take take it in
For granted, take take take it out
We were supposed to be together forever, yeah yeah
Don’t take love for granted
Don’t take love for granted
We were supposed to be together forever, yeah yeah
Don’t go take it out
Don’t go let it in

Give Love Each Day (Jon Anderson / Steve Howe / Chris Squire / Alan White)
Standing here on sacred ground
Some days it’s a mad world let it be
Words of promise fill the air, empty voices
How long have we waited?

And every time I hold your hand
You bring to me this promised land
I live for you this promised land

Take me there and back again
Some days it’s a sad world let it be
What’s the point of looking for this power divine?
It’s already in my changes
And every time I hear your voice
I realize I have a choice
To live again
I deserve this choice
To live again

Our heaven will be now
You are the song from the book of time
To realize what is yours is mine
We are meant to be
All because our love has always been
You are the center of my day
You are my guide in every way
We were meant to be
All because our love has always been there
Giving me the light, yes it’s been there giving me the light
Second nature sings to me
Some days it’s a dark world let it be
I define my right to be
I can't follow those who’ve lost their vision
And every time I hold your hand
You redesign my promised land
I live for you, this promised land
I live for you

You are the song from the book of time
To realize what is yours is mine
We are meant to be

All because our love has always been
You are the center of my day
You are my guide in every way
We were meant to be
All because our love has always been there
Giving me the light
Yes it’s been there giving me the light

You are the song from the book of time
To realize what is yours is mine
We are meant to be
All because our love has always been
You are the center of my day
You are my guide in every way
We were meant to be
All because our love has always been there
Giving me the light
Yes it’s been there giving me the light

Give love each day (x11)

Can you Imagine (Jon Anderson / Steve Howe / Chris Squire / Alan White)
Can you imagine what it’s like seeing life
From the other side
Do you imagine darkened light, starless night?
You might need a guide

And will the illusion confuse you, play with your thoughts
And alter your mind
Or become a delusion, include you
Change your existence
For another kind

See what you see for yourself, ’til your heart
Is open wide
Wish what you wish for yourself, and you find it there
And you believe it
And you believe it

Can you imagine what it’s like, seeing life
From the other side
Do you imagine light darkened, starless night
You might need a guide

And will the illusion confuse you, play with your thoughts
And alter your mind
Or become a delusion, excuse you
Change your existence
For another kind

See what you see for yourself, 'til your heart
Is open wide
Wish what you wish for yourself, and you find it here
And you believe it
And you believe it


We agree (Jon Anderson / Steve Howe / Chris Squire / Alan White)
Answers never clear again
This turning of the page
This turn look away

There I took a left turning
Before I came of age
I agreed to let it out
I agreed to let it go
I agreed to turn around
I agreed to turn my face away

Danger is the most important
Fear you’ll ever know
The transporting of refugees
The silent night is cold

And all the time
We looked around
As we were never told

But we agreed to let it out
We agreed to let it go
We agreed to turn our backs
We agreed to turn our face away, away

Thousands to the million
Sisters, grandmothers and more
It’s not the feast we throw away
It’s the way we close the door

Their silence deafens every sound
We try just to ignore
To waste their future freedom
We’ll regret forever more

I believe in
I believe in
These are the days that we will talk about
I believe in
I believe in
One understanding what is real

If we are one
Then we are refugees
We are the prisoners of our own design
If we are one
Seen through the eyes of a child
We will perpetuate this song of love
If we are one
Seen through the eyes of a child
We will perpetuate this song of love
If we are one
Seen through the eyes of a child
We will perpetuate this song
Perpetuate this song of love

Now we build the bridges
That we walk upon together
At the last count many lonely souls
The sadness always kills

Each breaking point is waiting
For the promise to fulfill

When we agree to turn the page
When we agree to help them free
When we agree to let it out
When we agree to let it shine
When we agree to let it run
When we agree to let it change our lives

I believe in, our lives
I believe in, our lives
These are the days we will talk about

When we are one
Seen through the eyes of child
We will perpetuate this song of love

When we are one
Seen through the eyes of child
We will perpetuate this song of love
Song of love

Yeah, yeah, perpetuate this song of love

Seeing through the eyes of child
Seeing through the eyes of child


Soft as a Dove (Jon Anderson / Steve Howe / Chris Squire / Alan White)
Soft as a dove
Touching the hand that lays next to me
Innocent light
Leading us through a moment in time

Then you came home
I let you cry like a father should do
Innocent light
Leading us to a moment in time

Soft as a dove
Touching the hand that lays next to me
Innocent light
Leading us through this moment in time
Thoughts run away
You’re overcome by a flood of believing

Just like a dove you’re flying away
Everything beautiful coming your way
Everything beautiful coming your way

Dreamtime (Jon Anderson / Steve Howe / Chris Squire / Alan White)
Dreamtime begins
Where every song is the perfect place
Words never spoken
Are the strongest resounding

Life force is meant for us
To remember the stars, the earth
Still we forget
So asleep in this dreamtime
Lost in this dreamtime day

Take me up into that freedom place and justify
Electrify the senses sharpen than the soul intensify
Nominate that we can break out take, take, take, take together
Hesitate and you will dance on this earth to, to forever

You are the choice forever trying
Give you wings forever flying
You can fly, you can glide, you can dream
You can see through this interactive vision streaming

You have the faith
So busy trying
So let it go
Forever flying

To the sky, to the earth, to the moon, to the sea
To the sun, to the stars, to the dream you become

Nothing left to lose
Nothing more to prove
With wings of gold
You’ll fly away

Talk among the prophets
Give you something
Talk among the teachers
Tell you something
Talk among your one true self now
Forever, forever, forever, forever

Dreamtime begins
Where every song is the perfect place
Words never spoken
Are the strongest resounding

Life force is meant for us
To remember the stars, the earth
Still we forget
So asleep in this dreamtime
Lost in this dreamtime day

Take me up into that freedom place and justify
On the silent wings of gold my soul intensify
Nominate that we can take, take, take, take, take, together
Demonstrate that we can break it out and take it forever

Here’s what you know
Here’s what you’re asking
The soul is everlasting

You can fly, you can glide, you can dream, you can see
Through this interactive vision streaming

You have the faith
So busy trying
So let it go
Fovever flying

To the sky, to the earth, to the moon, to the sea
To the sun, to the stars, to the dream you become

Nothing left to lose, nothing more to prove
When wings of gold will fly away

Talk among the prophets
Give you something
Talk among the teachers
Tell you something
Talk among your one true self now
Forever, forever, forever, forever

In the Presence of (Jon Anderson / Steve Howe / Chris Squire / Alan White)
Part I: Deeper
Deeper than every ocean
Deeper than every river
That’s what your presence brings to me

Revealing the words I listen
Seeing you in my silence
Learning I’m with you constantly
As I was before

If we were flowers
We would worship the sun
So why not now?
This high is shining brightly
Brighter than before

As the door was open wide
There inside was a diamond chair
Where I sat when I was young
I wrote down the words

Only when the young at heart
Can enter the real world
This chance I’ve waited for
For you to see

If I had chances I would spend them with you
To hold you close and let your love surround me
Deeper than before

(Deeper than every ocean)
And I know this love is real
(Deeper than every river)
Realize this is meant to be
That’s what your eyes they say to me
You are listening to how I feel
So expectedly
(Brighter than every morning)
From the ocean to the sky
(Beautiful as the sunset)
Every river to the sea
Nature surrounds me constantly
We can hear love constantly
This is for you and me

Turn around and come deeper now
So what happens when I touch you there
You feel the words roll over you
Thinking of the better scenes
The memories
As everybody else just
Hasn’t got the time
To help you anymore

’Cause if the reason for
The things that pleasure us
To please ourselves
Not pressure us
To give our ego
Some pleasure time

Can you imagine
Any reason
To know you’re only fooling yourself
And then you’ll understand why
You’ll understand why

So if we choose to realize
All existence is a dream
This perfect resume to you
From me
Just had a tough time with magic

Part II: The death of ego
The moon
It was just coming through

Send me such a good time
In a letter form, tell me
The pleasure, no pressure
Pure imagination in a metaphoric dream

Part III: True Beginner
I get amazed like a true beginner
I get amazed like a true believer
I get amazed when I see you there
And I come alive

I believe I’m a true beginner
I believe I’m a true beginner
In your arms I can see it all
I can see it all

If we were flowers
We would worship the sun
So why not now?
This light is burning brightly
This light is burning brightly
Brighter than before
Brighter than before
Brighter than before
Brighter than before

Part IV: Turn around and remember
Turn around and remember that
When it gets so low
As you finally hit the ground

Turn around and remember that
Now I’m standing tall
Standing on my sacred ground

Turn around and remember that
When it gets so low
As you finally hit the ground

Turn around and remember that
Now you’re standing tall
Standing on sacred ground
Standing on sacred ground
Standing on sacred ground

Time is Time (Jon Anderson / Steve Howe / Chris Squire / Alan White)
Time has saved as time has moved
Night has come at last to shine on you

Last night I looked inside the moon
And I knew you were real

So every time I look at you
You know exactly how I feel

Time has saved us time has moved
Night has come at last to shine on you

Take the time to know how you will fill my life
Revolving in my heart

Time has saved us, time has moved us
Night has come at last to shine on you again
