Emerson, Lake & Palmer

A missed step by the rivers edge
A chosen word, but it took too long
Your last chance is all he said
You wont miss it, till its gone
A ghost in the distance
Where the ocean meets the land
A fallen angel in a trance
A conversation you dont understand
Change - everybody wants it
Just a little hope and honesty
Change - everybody needs it
Open up our hearts so that we can see
A young man with a blue beard
Counting days that seem too long
Cant wait, wait another minute
For my fifteen minutes in the sun
Gotta sweep this act I follow
Dust off this passion play
Believe in fate cast off this sorrow
Its just a stones throw away
Change - everybody wants it
Just a little hope and honesty
Change - everybody needs it
Open up our hearts so that we can see
Some will think Im crazy
Some will think Im strange
Im trying to satisfy this hunger
Somebody stop this pain
No signs of redemption
Cant take the guilt they live
Gonna live and die in this world
Pushin and pullin till somethin gives
Change - everybody wants it
Just a little hope and honesty
Change - everybody needs it
Open up our hearts so that we can see
Change - everybody wants it
Just a little hope and honesty
Change - everybody needs it
Open up our hearts so that we can see
Visions of such temptation
We can never take it to far
Thats the price of the true sensation
To find out who we really are
Keep digging, digging for answers
Keep searchin you cant give in
Will we ever understand
A truth we cannot comprehend
Change - everybody wants it
Just a little hope and honesty
Change - everybody needs it
Open up our hearts so that we can see
A missed step by the rivers edge
A chosen word but it took too long
Your last chance is all he said
You wont miss it till its gone
Change - everybody wants it
Just a little hope and honesty
Change - everybody needs it
Open up our hearts so that we can see
Change - everybody wants it
Just a little hope and honesty
Change - everybody needs it
Open up our hearts so that we can see
