Elation

Oh there was once a man who had lost his own smile And he wandered the country mile after mile Never quite knowing what he wanted to find For his heart it lay heavy with the weight of his mind And he looked at the land through the tears in his eyes For he knew that there were those who would will her to die And he wept for his mother as he lay at her feet And he heard a voice singing him softly to sleep I'll be your queen, I'll be your mother, I'll be your mystical child Be your best friend, your lover Your wife for all time Will there ever be another, in this life of mine Will there ever be another, like my mystical child So he climbed a high hill and he looked out to sea And he heard a voice calling out softly to him Open your heart boy for it needs to be free And the next time you're crying come running to me So he walked through the valleys the trees and the fields And he came to a river where she waited for him And they looked at the water of life flowing by And he heard a voice saying 'you're not alone in the fight' --- Elation - The Levellers
