Mandalay
The wind is a troubadour who sings through the trees She breathes wisdom of air on the gales and the breeze She rides a comet round the planet with the star news Brand new on her wide lips of blue
And the clouds are the messengers that rose from the sea They bring wisdom of water to rain down on me Down the rivers, seas, streams and oceans Come the songs of the great Tsunami
Hey now everybody, we could dance like cranes On the snow-capped hills of Mandalay Or we could hold a grudge like it's a prized possession until our dying day But what is the use of your head in abuse Go free the mind and think I love you
The rocks sound a history of Gaia at her birth They bring wisdom of mineral from the core of the Earth Through the first, second, third dimension Come the songs and the sounds of evolution
And the flames of the winter hearth and the journey of the sun Bring us wisdom of fire and a heat in everyone Oh light your spark in the dark and see the phoenix rise
Hey now everybody, we could dance like cranes On the snow-capped hills of Mandalay Or we could hold a grudge like it's a prized possession until our dying day But what is the use of your head in abuse Go free the mind and think I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you
Here I am in wonder, wonder at the world I'm living in!
