You may be
workin' one day, baggin' burgers
for pay
When a voice on the squawk
box has this to say
"How long you gonna be
hypnotized, my friend?"
And you look 'round and stare
'cause no one is
there
You don't see a car, only
thin air
But all at once you know
you've reached the end
"The old way is
dead"--that's what the voice said--
"The moon is blue, the sea
blood red
Remember what you long ago
forswore
A pawn must push on to be
more than a pawn
You've lived like a chick,
now become a swan
Do once again what has never
been done before"
(repeat) A river of
light
The Queen of Swords
stands by the door
Wind and water don't dance no
more
The King of Wands is waiting
at the gate
Fortune and Death both hold
their breath
But you know there's no time
left
It must be now or forever be
too late
So throw down your
hat and pick up your crown
Become a verb; stop being a
noun
Put on your boots and head on
out the door
Just follow your nose
wherever it goes
Keep on goin' through rain,
sleet or snow
What else do you think that
you are livin' for?
(repeat) A river of
light
A voice from the
blue is calling to you
It only tells you things that
are true
Hear it and heed what it has
to say
Don't try to flee from what
you may be
Even if nobody else can see
There's more to life than a
shabby shadow play
A river of light
cuts through the night
How deep the depths, how high
the flight
Reclaim your life by losing
all you've kept
There's a ladder to climb one
rung at a time
There's a path to follow
however it winds
A thousand miles start with a
single step
