[Jon Anderson - Song of Seven lyrics]
In the meeting place I sit beside
Betwixt the points of heaven
I befell a friendly atmosphere
Revolving around seven
Oh, that number mystified my soul
And captured within feelings
Those of doubt and understanding
Hand in hand they set me reeling
Met me a stranger, he came here to town
Bearing gifts full of promises
Discoveries of light
Said me many reasons why my merry tale
Could be justified and just
Both together entwined
I tell you a reason, he
Said, "Bless you, you fool, you fool"
You want "so belief, " yet
You want so much more, " you seeker
Now I see you're baffled
Yet again you administer fear
Of the unexpected, you don't know the score
Everywhere you look you release
Parts of your senses
And everywhere there's purpose in answer
To all your dreams
I can hear you saying what a dreamer
What a fool to life isn't it a pity that he
Won't come back to earth
Haven't you imagination
And is it not available
How you can be sooner or
Later than your thinking
Haven't you imagination and is
It so impossible
That you ask of everything so
Your eyes can see clearly
So in an instant your story bound
A desert, the underground, on mountains high
A glacier, the heat of the day
City jungle, the sky at night
In space on a starry night
An atmosphere impossible
So you never really care
So we talk about the strength of dreams
And we talked at length of every dream
And we talked about the strength of dreams
And we talked about the strength of dreaming
In the meeting place I sit beside
Betwixt the points of heaven
I befell a friendly atmosphere
Revolving around seven
Oh, that number mystified my soul
And captured within feelings
Those of doubt and understanding
Hand to hand they set me reeling
In the seventh dream to stand alone
But not without the strength of love
To guide our way, everyday
Oh, the seventh dream, your smile can bring
Love on and on and time
Will flow forever clear
The seventh dream standing so near
And very soon we'll walk with love
Love that I can sing to you, you, you
Is it this time of day that makes me realise
The sun is coming out
To shine again tomorrow, tomorrow
Is it this time of day that gives you hope
Is it this time of times
That comes between the light
Are there so many dreamers in this
Life between a moment's time
And the stairways of love, the starlight
The starlight
Telling me that there's something else
To cling on to, cling on to
Betwixt the points of heaven
I befell a friendly atmosphere
Revolving around seven
Oh, that number mystified my soul
And captured within feelings
Those of doubt and understanding
Hand in hand they set me reeling
Met me a stranger, he came here to town
Bearing gifts full of promises
Discoveries of light
Said me many reasons why my merry tale
Could be justified and just
Both together entwined

You want so much more, " you seeker
