Dana Lyons The Green And Blue Lyrics

I have traveled far
And seen the magic
Of this place so far away
Halfway round the world
So far from you
Ancient dancing trees
Blown to perfection
By a thousand years of wind
Giant rivers fall
From the lake so blue

It's hard to understand
They'd dam a river
With the glaciers almost gone
As if nothing's wrong
We march on through
Lovers in a time
The word forever
Is a question on the wind
Twelve billion hands begin
What we must do

And that is why, my love
We hold a candle
To the eminence of night
We pass the mantle
With our childrеn's ancient right
To green and blue
We risе up once again
We may not live
To see the dawn after the end
Let's take a moment now
To savor this, my friend
The green and blue

The ending of a world
And the beginning
Of a love that never dies
Please don't start to cry
Or I'll cry too
Life will find a way
Our poisoned prisons Slowly swept in the sea
Sacredness survives
And we will too

And that is why, my love
We hold a candle
To the eminence of night
We pass the mantle
With our children's ancient right
To green and blue
We rise up once again
Born with knowledge
That the dawn will come again
Let's take a moment now
To savor this, my friend
The green and blue

Lonely is the night
When I forget that
There are children everywhere
Cuddling ragged bears
Where dreams come true
Deep beneath we know
That we are better
Than this mess we have become
You reach for the hold
And I'll lift you

And that is why, my love
We hold a candle
To the eminence of night
We pass the mantle
With our children's ancient right
To green and blue
We rise up once again
We may not live
To see the dawn after the end
Let's take a moment now
To savor this, my friend
The green and blue
