Here we stand in audience presence Casting shadows on every face Hold your hands out for the time is the essence Build a future from yesterday
There you sit and you're thinking in judgment Keep both your feet on the ground The guitars are loaded but don't run for cover Face the music and get 'em down
Rise up, no time to lose Make haste to taste the sweeter fruits of better days It's yours to choose so stand at hand A picture set in violet haze
Amid all the shouts and the laughter And all the enemies who call themselves friends Here we will stand hereafter Call the tune and we'll play it again
A journey in sound to endeavor A richness so rare if no clever Such sounds we will stand and deliver From all of us to all of you
Rise up, no time to lose Make haste to taste the sweeter fruits of better days It's yours to choose so stand at hand A picture set to light the way
See the lights in array, an electrical sunrise See the skies through the eyes of one who knows Out in front is the one who never ever learns to speak a word But she sits and she looks to be seen and not heard
