Текст песни
Let thunder roar out on the street
We build in thought our childhood home, complete
Let fate cast down another daring call —
Hope, faith and love will give us strength through all
Let pockets be not full of coins and gold —
Money's not the happiness the wise are told
Remember gold is not just what glitters bright —
The answer’s inside, the heart knows what is right
Chorus
The soul, like eyes, exists for a reason — true
Everything else sees on and on, no joking view
A soul without a purpose dies in just an hour,
Leaving only emptiness, an empty, hollow power
A soul that never knew life’s suffering and pain
Cannot the joys of happiness and bliss obtain
The soul gives us strength and love to carry through
The poet’s soul lives on in every tale anew
Vocalise
Mmm‑mmm‑mmm‑mmm, mmm‑mmm‑mmm‑mmm, mmm‑mmm‑mmm‑mmm,
Mmm‑mmm‑mmm‑mmm, mmm‑mmm‑mmm‑mmm, mmm‑mmm‑mmm‑mmm
Verse 2
Sometimes life’s wind rages fierce and wild
Not so scary when bread is plain, my child
More frightening is a heart that’s black and cold,
But overall, life’s pretty good as it unfolds
All our years rush by like trains along the line,
Without a stop, in haste toward endless time
The journey’s destination is only one —
But how long lasts the trip for everyone?
Repeat Chorus
The soul, like eyes, exists for a reason — true
Everything else sees on and on, no joking view
A soul without a purpose dies in just an hour,
Leaving only emptiness, an empty, hollow power
A soul that never knew life’s suffering and pain
Cannot the joys of happiness and bliss obtain
The soul gives us strength and love to carry through
The poet’s soul lives on in every tale anew
Mmm‑mmm‑mmm‑mmm, mmm‑mmm‑mmm‑mmm, mmm‑mmm‑mmm‑mmm,
Mmm‑mmm‑mmm‑mmm, mmm‑mmm‑mmm‑mmm, mmm‑mmm‑mmm‑mmm
Verse 3
In this world you can buy and sell just anything,
You might stand on top of the world and wear the king’s ring
In chasing riches over many years they find
That people lose their souls and lose the sunlight’s kind
Through mists and winds and rain keep one small beam of light —
Safeguard that ray within your heart through every night
Not knowing what the future holds beyond the bend,
Move forward, my friend — with faith proceed and not pretend
Repeat Chorus
The soul, like eyes, exists for a reason — true
Everything else sees on and on, no joking view
A soul without a purpose dies in just an hour,
Leaving only emptiness, an empty, hollow power
A soul that never knew life’s suffering and pain
Cannot the joys of happiness and bliss obtain
The soul gives us strength and love to carry through
The poet’s soul lives on in every tale anew
Mmm‑mmm‑mmm‑mmm, mmm‑mmm‑mmm‑mmm, mmm‑mmm‑mmm‑mmm,
Mmm‑mmm‑mmm‑mmm, mmm‑mmm‑mmm‑mmm, mmm‑mmm‑mmm‑mmm
Bridge / Final Appeal
A moment comes when all seems drenched in gloom,
No glimpse of light, an empty, hollow room
Don’t give in — remember always and hold fast
Kindness conquers evil — stronger than the past
Truth is not in words alone but shown by deeds,
Cast out your doubts, discard your fearful needs
Life’s wind may sometimes rage and howl and sweep…
But, overall, life is good — its treasures keep
Not scary when there’s only coarse dark bread to eat…
What’s scary is a heart that’s black beneath the beat
Final Repeat — Chorus
The soul, like eyes, exists for a reason — true
Everything else sees on and on, no joking view
A soul without a purpose dies in just an hour,
Leaving only emptiness, an empty, hollow power
A soul that never knew life’s suffering and pain
Cannot the joys of happiness and bliss obtain
The soul gives us strength and love to carry through
The poet’s soul lives on in every tale anew
Mmm‑mmm‑mmm‑mmm, mmm‑mmm‑mmm‑mmm, mmm‑mmm‑mmm‑mmm,
Mmm‑mmm‑mmm‑mmm, mmm‑mmm‑mmm‑mmm, mmm‑mmm‑mmm‑mmm
