Yes - The Prophet lyrics

Long ago a tall man told a tale of yesterday
Searching for the truth to life and
Not for just a way
Finding pleasure from the sounds his
Ears they did obey in his life a moment's
Pleasure never to delay
He was lost and in his trust
He found a new meaning
Seeing the things in different lights
His life was redeeming

Words of peace would fill his mind
And change his way of life
Peaceful meetings with his heart have
Made him more alive
Meeting wise old women on the
Cliffs of life it'self
Asking not for just meaning
More for just himself
Soon we'll be as he proclaimed in
A new way of living
Take the things you need in
Life but remember the giving

Prophesy within your mind and you
Will work it out
Prophesy that some will die but
Only those who doubt
Then you'll never worry as sometimes
You used to do
Just remember when you're gone
There's someone after you, you
