Fantasy
Earth Wind and Fire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every man has a place, in his heart there's a space
And the world can't erase his fantasies
Take a ride in the sky, on our ship, Fantasy
All your dreams will come true, right away

And we will live together, until the twelfth of never
Our voices will ring forever, as one
Every thought is a dream, rushing by in a stream
Bringing life to our kingdom of doing
Take a ride in the sky, on our ship, Fantasy
All your dreams will come true, miles away

Our voices will ring together until the twelfth of never
We all, will live forever, as one

Come see victory, in the land called, "Fantasy"
Loving life, a new decree
Bring your mind to everlasting liberty

As one

Come to see, victory in a land called, "Fantasy"
Loving life, for you and me, to behold, to your soul is ecstasy
You will find, other kind, that has been in search for you
Many lives has brought you to
Recognize it's your life, now in review
And as you stay for the play, fantasy, has in store for you
A glowing light will see you through
It's your day, shining day, all your dreams come true
As you glide, in your stride with the wind, as you fly away
Give a smile, from your lips, and say
I am free, yes I'm free, now I'm on my way

Come to see victory
In a land called, "Fantasy"
Loving life for you and me
To behold, to your soul is ecstasy
You will find other kind
That has been in search of you
Many lives has brought you to
Recognize, it's your life now in review (ahh-oh)





Oh, oh, oh, oh

The Great Invocation

From the point of Light within the Mind of God
Let light stream forth into the minds of men.
Let Light descend on Earth.

From the point of Love within the Heart of God
Let love stream forth into the hearts of men.
May Christ return to Earth.

From the centre where the Will of God is known
Let purpose guide the little wills of men -
The purpose which the Masters know and serve.

From the centre which we call the race of men
Let the Plan of Love and Light work out
And may it seal the door where evil dwells.

Let Light and Love and Power
restore the Plan on Earth

Like most countries, NZ grew up listening to music from UK & USA - Motown, RnB, Soul, Jazz, Disco, Funk, Blues, Reggae etc. In recent times we've developed our own sound - a fusion of those genre's wrapped in island rhythms. An old skool vibe with a twist I think you'll enjoy.
Six60 & L.A.B are huge in NZ and good examples.

These are there latest Concerts
