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 this house 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 diff'rent lights his life was redeemed.

Words of peace will 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 itself;

Asking not for pers'nal 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 somtimes you used to do;

Just remember when you're gone there's someone after you, you
