I see your rainbow rising, look there, on the horizon...

High noon, oh I'd sell my soul for water

Nine years worth of breakin' my back

There's no sun in the shadow of the wizard

See how he glides, why he's lighter than air?

Oh I see his face!

Where is your star?

Is it far, is it far, is it far?

When do we leave?

I believe, yes, I believe

In the heat and the rain

With the whips and chains

To see him fly

So many die

We built a tower of stone

With our flesh and bone

Just to see him fly

But don't know why

Now where do we go?

Hot wind, moving fast across the desert

We feel that our time has arrived

The world spins, while we put his dream together

A tower of stone to take him straight to the sky

Oh I see his face!

Where is your star?

Is it far, is it far, is it far?

When do we leave?

Hey, I believe, I believe

In the heat and the rain

With the whips and chains

Just to see him fly

Too many die

We built a tower of stone

With our flesh and bone

To see him fly

But we don't know why

Ooh, now where do we go

All eyes see the figure of the wizard

As he climbs to the top of the world

No sound, as he falls instead of rising

Time standing still, then there's blood on the sand

Oh I see his face!

Where was your star?

Was it far, was it far

When did we leave?

We believed, we believed, we believed

In heat and rain

With the whips and chains

To see him fly

So many died

We built a tower of stone

With our flesh and bone

To see him fly

But why

In all the rain

With all the chains

Did so many die

Just to see him fly

Look at my flesh and bone

Now, look, look, look, look,

Look at the tower of stone

I see your rainbow rising

Look there, on the horizon oh no, who's rising

And I'm coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming home

Time is standing still

You, give back my will

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Going home

I'm going home

My eyes are bleeding

And my heart is lead ahead

But it's not home

But it's not home

Ooh

Take me back

You, give me back my will

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Going home

I'm going home

My eyes are bleeding

And my heart is lead ahead

But it's not home

But it's not home

Take me back, take me back

Back to my home ooh, ooh, ooh

ΟΙ ΕΙΚΟΝΕΣ: Φωτογραφίες του Ken Rotberg στην Νότια Φλόριντα που απεικονίζουν το σπάνιο καιρικό φαινόμενο είναι γνωστό ως "ουράνιο τόξο της φωτιάς". Ουσιαστικά δεν πρόκειται ούτε για ουράνιο τόξο, ούτε για φωτιά αλλά για ιριδίζοντα σύννεφα κι είναι ένα σχετικά σπάνιο φαινόμενο που προκαλείται από τα σύννεφα και σταγονίδια νερού σχεδόν ομοιόμορφα σε μέγεθος σύμφωνα με την NASA. Αυτά τα σύννεφα είναι παρόμοια και χωρίζονται σε διαφορετικά μήκη κύματος ή χρωμάτων που μοιάζουν με εκείνα του ουράνιου τόξου.
