lyrics

The First One (The Willing)

The first one, he was the willing
To go out on the way
The second was younger
Just a child who liked to play

The last one was the elder
Among the family tree
His mind was filled with wisdom
And he passed it on to me.
So gather round the table
And hear just what I say
The time has come to realize
You’re lost without a way
Your light is in the window
Just a candle burning low
Your chains are all around you
And you don’t know where to go
Take my hand child
I can pull you through
Take my hand child
I’ll show you must what you must do
Take my hand child
It can be alright
Take my hand child
Freedom comes tonight
Life has many chances
Some are lost and some are found
Trails are so confusing
They’ll spin you round and round
At times you hold the answer
At time you’re told a lie
Waiting for the laughter
A tear comes from your eye
They’ll feed you to the lions
And take your precious gold
Be careful of the leaders
They’ll steal the mind and soul
Of all the tiny babies
And children of the land
Take head and rise against it
The time has come to stand
Take my hand child
I can pull you through
Take my hand child

I’ll show you must what you must do
Take my hand child
It can be alright
Take my hand child
Freedom comes tonight
Over And Over


As I walk out here tonight
My mind it fills with fright
But the message you are sending
Assures me it’s alright
So the story, I can tell you
Well, it comes from long ago
But believe me I can tell you
Well, it’s one we all should know
All the people give the answer
To the fools who pay them mind
But the answer to the question
Shall be revealed to all through time.
It goes over and over
The same story over
Over and over
The same story over
All your questions will be answered
And your mind I can put to rest
Because one thing that is understood
Is we are all put to the test
As I look in your eye and you’re wondering why
This madness reigns tonight
Please believe me I am just like you
And I’ve got to see daylight
It goes over and over
The same story over
Over and over
The same story over
But if you’re frightened, it can be smitened

By the hand controlling time
It’s upon you to decide now
Just what you’ve got to do
You must remember of the lesson
That was written so long ago
All that glitters all around you
Will not guarantee its gold
It goes over and over
The same story over
Over and over
The same story over
As I walk out here tonight
My mind it fills with fright
But the message you are sending
Assures me it’s alright
