Prologue

[No lyrics]

. . .



Lost
On a painted sky
Where the clouds are hung
For the poet's eye
You may find him
If you may find him

There
On a distant shore
By the wings of dreams
Through an open door
You may know him
If you may

Be
As a page that aches for a word
Which speaks on a theme that is timeless
And the one God will make for your day

Sing
As a song in search of a voice that is silent
LyricsAnd the sun
God will make for your way

And we dance
To a whispered voice
Overheard by the soul,
Undertook by the heart
And you may know it
If you may know it

While the sand would become the stone
Which begat the spark
Turned to living bone
Holy, holy
Sanctus, sanctus

Be
As a page that aches for a word
Which speaks on a theme that is timeless
While the one God will make for your day

Sing
As a song in search of a voice that is silent
And the one God will make for your way

Flight Of The Gull

[No lyrics]

. . .



Dear Father
We dream, we dream
We dream
While we may

Who are we to need
We need we need
While we wait
While we wait

[Spoken:]
Dear Father
We dream, we dream
We dream
While we may, while we may

Who are we to need
We need, we need
While we wait
While we wait


. . .



Skybird
Make your sail
And every heart
Will know of the tale

[Spoken:]
And head for the farthest shore

Songbird
Make your tune
For none may sing it just as you do

[Spoken:]
And make your song be heard

Look at the way I glide
Caught on the winds lazy tide
Sweetly how it sings
Rally each heart
At the sight of your silver wings

LyricsSkybird
Skybird
Night bird
Find your way
For none may know it just as you may

[Spoken:]
Seek out your harbor of light
Let your song be heard
Rally each heart
To the sight of your silver wings
Skybird


. . .



Lonely looking sky, lonely sky
Lonely looking sky
And bein' lonely
Makes you wonder why
Makes you wonder why
Lonely looking sky
Lonely looking sky
Lonely looking sky

Lonely looking night, lonely night,
Lonely looking night
And bein' lonely
Never made it right
Never made it right
Lonely looking night
Lonely looking night
Lonely looking night

Sleep, we sleep
For we may dream
While we may
LyricsDream we dream
For we may wake
One more day, one more day

Glory looking day
Glory day, Glory looking day
And all it's glory
Told a simple way
Behold it if you may
Glory looking day
Glory looking day
On lonely looking sky


. . .
