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
