When you fade into a melody
Your mind is lost in reverie
You can feel the earth and touch the sky
Don't mind the shade when there's inner light

What you do is who you are
Don't stop dreaming on a distant star
The fortune wheel will roll your way
Where you stand is where you'll have your say

Raise the bar a little higher
See the shadow flames from the fire
The system grinds dreams to dirt
But the truth walks naked upon the earth

We won't know where we stand 'til December
We won't know where we stand 'til December

No moment now, however small
The whirl of time teaches all
Notes on high above the low hum
Words and plans forward racing on

Where the wind pumps the water
To the gardens of the mind
Teach the young as keepers of the faith
To love the smell of the written page

Raise the glass a little higher
See the shadow flames from the fire
The system grinds dreams to dirt
But the truth walks naked upon the earth

We won't know where we stand 'til December
We won't know where we stand 'til December

We won't know where we stand 'til December

You're mind is lost in reverie
You're mind is lost in reverie
