"I hear the wind call my name
The sound that leads me home again
It sparks up the fire - a flame that still burns
To you I'll always return...
I know the road is long but where you are is home
Wherever you stay - I'll find a way
I'll run like a river - I'll follow the sun
I'll fly like an eagle - to where I belong
I can't stand the distance - I can't dream alone
I can't wait to see you - Yes I'm on my way home
"They found me lost in space, nowhere to go
with the stakes so high and my resistance so low
they said "follow us, follow us today
we are truth, we are the way...
"Young man" they said "Your search is through
You can trust in us, we'll look after you
We will be your body, we will be your mind
And we've a face of each and every kind
"there's no need for you to hear or see
we'll do your thinking for you, if you'll agree
so close your eyes and let yourself unwind
and we can leave the real world behind"
"Find myself beside a stream of empty thoughts,
Like a leaf that's fallen to the ground,
And carried by the flow of water to my dreams
Woken only by your sound...
Alone I've walked this path for many years,
Listened to the wind that calls my name.
The weeping trees of yesterday they look so sad,
Await your breath of spring again.
"There has to be an invisible sun
It gives its heat to everyone
There has to be an invisible sun
That gives us hope when the whole day's done"
The Police
"If you twist and turn away, if you tear yourself in two again
if I could, yes I would, if I could, I would let it go
surrender, dislocate...
If I could throw this lifeless lifeline to the wind
leave this heart of clay see you walk, walk away
into the night and through the rain
into the half-light and through the flame.
If I could through myself set your spirit free
I'd lead your heart away see you break, break away
into the light and to the day
We recognise truth when we hear it but not in our minds, rather we feel it in our hearts. Perhaps that is why John Lennon's song "Imagine" is so popular...
"Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...
Imagine there's no countries,
It isn't hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...
'God' often 'speaks' to us in the lyrics of popular songs and one which came to me recently was the song "Still haven't found what I'm looking for" by U2.
