The Light

Spock's Beard

I: The Dream



What

Makes a dream

So very different

From any other dream

Where is that

Straight line

That I can hold up

To the light

And say no!

This is not right

This does not

Stand up

In the light



II: One Man



Call me cavanaugh

I'm the one with the caveman jaw

Call me Smitty or Jones

Talkin' on the tv's and the telephones

I am the critical masses

Stand back and watch as time passes



I am the centerfold

I know the stories before they get told

You can call me Kennedy

You may have killed him but you cannot kill me

I am the crippled and blind

I paint the pretty pictures on the subway signs

Yeah, I am everything to everyone

And I won't go away at the point of a gun



All of this in one man



I am rock 'n roll

I am classical, country and soul

I am the nun and the flasher

I am the father, the son and the bastard

I am the church and the steeple

Open the door and see all the people



All of this in one man



III: Garden People



I'm coming down

People's garden

Garden people

People's garden

Garden people



IV: Looking Straight Into The Light



Look!

There's a light

Headed for the sun

Stand and you might

Turn to everyone

The lady, the lass

Melt into glass

Looking straight into the light



Stand at the door

That would not open wide

You tried so hard before

But now we're on your side

You see us all - the left and the right

Looking straight into the light



You see us all - the left and the right

Looking straight into the light

Looking straight into the light

Looking straight into the light!



In the light



V: The Man In The Mountain



I am the man in mountain

I stand alone - I've been downed

In a sea of loveless illusion

So many lost - so many drowned



Got no church
