Can you see me, are you near me? Can you hear me crying out for life? Can you tell me, where's the glory? Ride the days and sail the nights When it's over you'll find the answer Running in the whispering rain Anno Mundi? Can you wonder! Truth or thunder, life or blame
Do you see a vision of a perfect place? Does it make you laugh; put a smile on your face? Do you need a mirror, do you see it well? Does the hand of god still toll the bell? There are people laughing They're all laughing at you If only they could see what you're saying is true Still generals fighting, making war on the worlds Don't they know, don’t they know? No, no, no
The winds in the night blows cold Your eyes are burning As the sands of our time grow old Anno Mundi
Do you follow the path that so many tread? Are you among the blind so easily lead? Do you join the war; do you fight for the cause? Depends on another to fight it alone
The winds in the night blows cold Your eyes are burning As the sands of our time grow old Anno Mundi
Can you see me now, can you hear me now? Can you tell me where's the glory? Ride the days and sail the nights When it's over, you'll find the answer Runnin' in the rain
There's a hope that's growing and a vision too All those angry hearts reach out for you Do you look to the dawn, see a new day begun? No longer the fool, the vision is done
