Rick Wakeman & Jon Anderson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A dream will call and raise it's head in majesty
Dividing all my energy
To the meeting of Your love
Where from whence it came
Like a singer searching for a song
I try to reach where You belong
I will be Your servant child
No, oh no
I cannot be deceived
No, oh no
There's something that I feel
There's something that I feel inside
Surely I could tell
If you ask me, Lord
To board the train
My life, my love would be the same
As I could be the one for You
In the meeting of Your love
In the meeting of Your love

In a million years we will still listen to this.

No dreams are not reality, neither is fantasy. Every morning when Jon wakes up he does not feel good about life. At all. Then he slowly makes his way into his fantasy/unreality. Why did he stop working with Vangelis? Vangelis is a very sad old man. Only people that dont understand can please these two men. And not very long. Silence is the enemy of Jon. He Has to talk all the time. (lie)
