lyrics

I believe in Space the father
Everywhere and on and further
Outer space, the God creator
Inner space, the innovator.
Space that threw us into time
Space that isn't yours or mine
Each soul's an eternal line
Trace your course and lose your mind
Space that humans subdivide
Just so they won't see their size
Space that cannot be defined
Space impassive, space sublime.
I believe in those that know it
Live within it, watch below it
Sense and hold and know and flow it
Painters, preachers, tramps and poets
Buried in your daily lives
Buried like a butterfly.

I believe in water flowing
Flying, playing, parting, growing
Seas to channels, rivers, streams
Inward through your hearts and dreams
Water flowing through my hand
Water I can understand
Water making no demands
Water smiling, giving land
Water does not cheat or lie
Or sell or buy or take a side
Water is an answer why
Water simple, ageless, wise
I believe in ocean water
Moon of grace, the ocean's daughter
Ocean stretching to the sky
A dab of blue in a painter's eye
Only hers are undefiled
The sailor and the ocean child.

I sing my song to laughter lines
To past and future better times
To paradox, and meetings chance
And whoever was the god of dance
To circles, for they have no end
Unless that circle's one of friends
To those who find their dreams as real
As government or British Steel.
To the man who said he fought the war
And failed to see the things he saw
The Samaritan upon the road
Who stopped and didn't steal my clothes
To junkies trying not to die
Buried by the sacred 'why'
To admirals without a fleet
To everyone with aching feet
To beautiful losers everywhere
My song is yours, my cupboard bare.

[With thanks to Inbar Grinstein for the transcription]
