CALM AND CRYSTAL CLEAR

-- Neil Murray --

Looking out on the back roads of my life
There's me again as a five year old child               
Staring at the broken toys scattered in the sand         
Knowing deep inside I was already an old man

This road unravels out of darkness now toward me         
I feel the world stretch out vast now before me         
We live and dream in an ancient hallowed land
Some things that happen we may never understand      


For I hear the voices of the past        (Sing of rage and relief
Revelation’s come at last                   (And it's keeping me from sleep
And it's coming to me                        (I hear the word and it's calm and crystal clear
Yes it's coming to my life                
Calm and crystal clear                  

We are bound for an unknown destination
The stars above offer no consolation
We all live and breathe and die alone together
Some place some day we'll leave our bones to the weather

But just like the smell of rain on the wind far away
A little truth arrives at the dying of each day
I wish the mountain would come and take me in her arms
I don't care what happens I won't come to any harm

For I hear the voices of the past        (Sing of rage and relief
The Revelation’s come at last            (And it's keeping me from sleep
Well it's coming to me                        (I hear the word and it's calm and crystal clear
Yes it's coming to my life                
Calm and crystal clear                  


        (I hear the word and it's calm and crystal clear)      
I hear the word and it's calm and crystal clear
        (I see the world and it's coming oh so near)
I see the world and it's coming oh so near
I hear the word and it's calm and crystal clear            
I see the world and it's coming oh so near
Come into my life           (Calm and crystal clear   
Come into my life           (Calm and crystal clear      
Come into my life
