His spirit joined and so was formed

Ten thousand years ago

Between the swan and hercules

Where even dark clouds glow



To live with grace, to ride the swell

To yet be strong of will

To love the wind, to learn it's song

And empty space to fill



Apollo taught me to rhyme

Orpheus taught me to play

Andromeda cast down her sign

And vega lights my way



Smoke rings in a galaxy

An endless flight through time

Lyra gave her harp to him

And left him free to climb



A winter's journey from the moon

To reach the summer sun

To rise again, to sing for you

A song that's yet unsung



Apollo taught me to rhyme

Orpheus taught me to play

Andromeda cast down her sign

And vega lights my way



His spirit joined and so was formed

Ten thousand years ago

Between the swan and hercules

Where even dark clouds glow



To live with grace, to ride the swell

To yet be strong of will

To love the wind, to learn her song

And empty space to fill
