The 1981 version went : Can you imagine what it's like seeing light From the other side Do you imagine darkened light starless night You might need a guide And will the illusion confuse you play with your thoughts And alter your mind To become a delusion and use you Change your existence For another kind See what you see for yourself till your eyes Are open wide Wish what you wish for yourself and you find it there And you believe it And you believe it (repeated three times) ************************ We Agree Answers never clear again This turning of the page This turning look away There I took a left turn Before I came of age I agreed to let it out I agreed to let it go I agreed to turn around I agreed to turn my face away Danger is the most important Fear youÕll ever know The transporting of refugees The silent night is cold And all the time We looked around As we were never told But we agreed to let it out We agreed to let it go We agreed to turn our backs We agreed to turn our face away, away Thousands to million Sisters, Grandmothers and more ItÕs not the feast we throw away ItÕs the way we close the door Their silence deafens every sound We try just to ignore To waste their future freedom WeÕll regret forever more I believe in I believe in These are the days that we will talk about I believe in I believe in One understanding what is real If we are one Then we are refugees We are the prisoners of our own design If we are one Seen through the eyes of child We will perpetuate this song of love If we are one Seen through the eyes of child We will perpetuate this song of love Perpetuate this song of love If we are one Seen through the eyes of child We will perpetuate this song of love If we are one Seen through the eyes of child We will perpetuate this song of love If we are one Seen through the eyes of child We will perpetuate this song of love If we are one Seen through the eyes of child We will perpetuate this song Perpetuate this song of love Now we build the bridges That we walk upon together At the last count many lonely Souls The sadness always kills Each breaking point is waiting For the promise to fulfill When we agree to turn the page When we agree to help them free When we agree to let it out When we agree to let it shine When we agree to let it run When we agree to let it change I believe in, our lives I believe in, our lives These are the days that we will talk about When we are one Seen through the eyes of child We will perpetuate this song of love Seeing through the eyes of child Seeing through the eyes of child

Presence Of Deeper than every ocean Deeper than every river That's what your presence brings to me Revealing the words I listen Seeing you in my silence Learning I'm with you constantly As I was before If we were flowers we would worship the sun So why not now This high is shining brightly Brighter than before As the door was open wide There inside was a diamond chair Where I sat when I was young I wrote down the words Only when the young at heart Can enter the real world This chance I've waited for For you to see If I had chances, I would spend them with you To hold you close And let your love surround me Deeper than before (Deeper than every ocean) (Deeper than every river) And I know this love is real Realize this is not to be You are listening to how I feel So expectedly From the ocean to the sky Every river to the sea We can hear love constantly This is for you and me ____ Turn around and come deeper now So, what happens when I touch you there You feel the words roll over you (over you) Thinking of the better scenes The memories As everybody else just hasn't got the time To help you anymore (anymore) Cause if the reason for the things that pleasure us To please ourselves Not pressure us To give our ego some pleasure time Can you imagine any reason To know you're only fooling yourself And then you'll understand why You'll understand why So if we choose to realize All existence is a dream This perfect resumˇ to you from me Just had a tough time with magic The death of ego, the moon It was just coming through Send me such a good time in a letter form, tell me The pleasure, no pressure Pure imagination in a metaphoric dream ____ I get amazed like a true beginner I get amazed like a true believer I get amazed when I see you there, and I come alive I believe I'm a true beginner I believe I'm a true beginner In your arms I could see it all, I can see it all If we were flowers we would worship the sun So why not now (So why not now) This light is burning brightly (This light is burning brightly) Brighter than before (Brighter...) Brighter than before (Brighter than before) ____ Turn around and remember that When it gets so low As you finally hit the ground Turn around and remember that Now I'm standing tall Standing on my sacred ground Turn around and remember that When it gets so low As you finally hit the ground Turn around and remember that Now you're standing tall Standing on sacred ground Standing on sacred ground Standing on sacred ground Turn around and remember that When it gets so low As you finally hit the ground Turn around and remember that Now you're standing tall Standing on sacred ground Standing on sacred ground Standing on sacred ground [The studio and live versions have some differences.] Transcribed for the Museum of Yes by: Alan Randolph (tmgarr123@hotmail.com), Michele Marie in Oklahoma (believer@telepath.com) Lee (yesman@yesmuseum.org), Yann, Henry, and a bunch of other dedicated fans.
