Down in the mission of St. John They're reeling in the broken ones Treasures from a time before Still sending out a distant call I had to follow when I heard that sound It hit me like a fever Still burns a flame in my soul And it's getting brighter Yeah, you can light the way With every word you bring to life Building the steps of time Steps of time Carved out of reason and rhyme Building the steps of time From the dawn of ages Till kingdom come The spirit of their hearts live on Stretched across a thousand years Gonna touch you when it reappears A dying voice can still be heard In every word they're singing Like an arrow in the dirt Like a bell that keeps on ringing Yeah, you can light the way With every word you bring to life Building the steps of time Steps of time Carved out of reason and rhyme Building the steps of time Down in the mission of St. John They're reeling in the broken ones Gathered under a summer moon And what they're sayin' Comes shinin' through I had to follow when I heard that sound It hit me like a fever Still burns a flame in my soul And it's getting brighter Yeah, you can light the way With every word you bring to life Building the steps of time Steps of time Carved out of reason and rhyme Building the steps of time (Camilleri Polec – Rondor Warner Chappell )
