True Life Song

Jon Anderson

Lay down in the stars, my bonny lass
Lay down in my arms, we'll make it last
The senses aspire to this far greater time
As the rivers flow your heart will be mine

She changed my soul with her angel eyes
She gave her love to set me free
Like the waves of the ocean that come to the shore
She'd be loved by me forevermore

On the first of May all spring will arise
As the garlands of Eireland will be coming alive
'Tis the first day of wonder and the first day of light
I'm so glad we've arrived in a freedom so bright

So lay down in the heavens, my bonny lass
Lay down in my arms, we'll make it last
In the parting of old ways, we made our last stand
'Tis the first day of our future in this new land

She changed my soul with her angel eyes
She gave her love to set me free
Like the waves of the ocean that come to the shore
She'd be loved by me forevermore

We'll change our wisdom through your angel eyes
We have sown the seeds for our children's lives
For at last the aching has gone far away
Bring the future of Eireland to this new day
