Words by Jon Anderson from Yes. Music by Tangerine Dream. Sung by Jon Anderson.
I love this song. I love this movie. Tom Cruise in 1985. Mia Sara was only 18 when the film came out. Tim Curry is...Tim Curry. Jon Anderson's voice gives me shivers. The message behind the song helps me to think positively about life - even with the condition our economy is in now. Maybe the song makes me want to escape to somewhere where none of this shit is happening.
The crescendo is at 3:40 (is that the right word?) - my favorite part of the song. This is sort of an extended version than what is in the movie.
"I have seen the mystics play there
Once or twice but I knew they had a reason
Enchantment plays it's cards all right
Hand in hand with the working of the seasons
Legends can be now and forever
Teaching us to love for goodness sake
Legends can be now and forever
Loved by the sun, loved by the sun
Loved
Two and two go so close together
Whether there is hope that is torn apart
In the words of all that's singing
Hand in hand the beginning is at the start
Legends can be now and forever
Teaching us to reach for goodness sake
Legends can be now and forever
Loved by the sun
Loved by the sun
Loved
Who sings of all of love's eternity
Whose shines so bright
In all the songs of love's unending spells
Only lightning strikes all that's evil
Teaching us to love for goodness sake
Hear the music of love eternal
Teaching us to reach for goodness sake
Legends can be now and forever
Teaching us to love for goodness sake
Sweet songs of youth, the wise, the meeting of all wisdom
Sweet songs of youth, the wise, the meeting of all wisdom
Sweet songs of youth, the wise, the meeting of all wisdom
Sweet songs of youth, the wise, the meeting of all wisdom
To believe in the good in man.
To believe in the good in man.
To believe in the good in man."
