The Ones Ahead
In the dark night turning
Beneath the star fields burning
I see the ones, I see the ones ahead
Circling on the reader
Round the teacher, the giver
I see their hearts and all the fear they've shared
They beckon me
Come, love can redeem
Life is an art
You have a part that's yours to play
Come, show us your dreams
Life needs your hand to do what you can
In your own way
This world is our combined imagination
Your life, a precious personal creation
What have you learned?
What lessons earned, they say
"Each of us to others is connected"
If one of us is lost, we're all affected
How will you live? What will you give today?
They beckon me
Come, love can redeem (roll on, river, roll on river), life is an art
You have a part that's yours to play (roll on, roll on, roll on, roll on)
Come, show us your dreams (roll on, river, roll on, river)
Life needs your hand to do what you can (roll on, roll on, roll on)
In your own way (roll on)
I'm casting my life on you, river (roll on, roll on, roll on, roll on)
As it tumbles along to the sea (roll on, roll on, roll on, roll on)
On the ribbon of stars to the giver (roll on, roll on, roll on, roll on)
It's all of you
It's all of me
This world is our combined imagination
Your life, a precious personal creation
What have you learned?
What lessons earned, they say
"Each of us to others is connected"
If one of us is lost, we're all affected
How will you live? What will you give today?
They beckon me
Come, love can redeem (roll on, river, roll on river), life is an art
You have a part that's yours to play (roll on, roll on, roll on, roll on)
Come, show us your dreams (roll on, river, roll on, river)
Life needs your hand to do what you can (roll on, roll on, roll on)
In your own way (roll on)
I'm casting my life on you, river (roll on, roll on, roll on, roll on)
As it tumbles along to the sea (roll on, roll on, roll on, roll on)
On the ribbon of stars to the giver (roll on, roll on, roll on, roll on)
It's all of you
It's all of me
Come, love can redeem
Life is an art
You have a part that's yours to play
Come, show us your dreams
Life needs your hand to do what you can
In your own way
Beneath the star fields burning
I see the ones, I see the ones ahead
Circling on the reader
Round the teacher, the giver
I see their hearts and all the fear they've shared
They beckon me
Come, love can redeem
Life is an art
You have a part that's yours to play
Come, show us your dreams
Life needs your hand to do what you can
In your own way
This world is our combined imagination
Your life, a precious personal creation
