Prologue. A hopeful candle flickers
Time's forgotten space
Recall the days that still are to come
There were days between
Can't come down, I've been set free
Can YOU pass the acid test?
In the book of love's own dream
Come join the party every day
Poised for flight, wings spread bright
Where is the child who played with the sunshine?
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
The wheel is turning
Wait until that deal come 'round
Line up a long shot, maybe try it two times
Beneath the sweet calm face of the sea
Some rise, some fall, some climb ..
The desert stars are bright tonight
This darkness got to give
If mercy's in business, I wish it for you
Dawn is breaking everywhere
Show me something built to last
So many roads to ease my soul
A broken angel sings from a guitar
There's nothing you can hold for very long
Epilogue. Sleep in the stars
