"Sacred Stones" lyrics - JON ANDERSON

So when the day broke they gathered 'round the golden stones, so carried forth from the days that stole the forest, then took the stand from the first to call this earth a name, each and every one could see the healing...

As no one talked, no one else could know the thought that day, the stolen promises that thundered across the dark skies...
The scared stones had been hidden 700 years, and now the spell had been broken...

They say that thousands or millions they had walked the earth, they travelled east in the greatest known migration...
The sacred stones had been diamonds cascading from the sky to forge these words here now spoken...

We're given heaven each and every day so here it says, don't waste a minute to rejoice in every glory...
Each day we live just to sing the tunes of ancient songs, each generation has it's story...

So every evening when you hear the songs of Evermore, try to believe in all the deeds we have forgotten...
The truth will find you for the seeking of your highest love, each has their songs for they to listen...

We seek all things that we never even understand, as every man will see the woman has the blessing, to bring us back to the rivers where it all began, to truly find the river flowing...

So if we don't understand what we are singing for, we cannot grieve for we all must play our part...
As I believe that there will come a day so very soon, when everyone will have a pure heart...

And I believe that there will come a day so very soon, when everyone will have a pure heart...
