TiME AND A WORD



Have you heard of a time that will help get it together again?
Have you heard of the word that will stop us going wrong?
Well, the time is near and the word you'll hear
When you get things in perspective.
Spread the news and help the word go round.

There's a time and the time is now and it's right for me,
It's right for me, and the time is now.
There's a word and the word is love and it's right for me,
It's right for me, and the word is love.

Jon Anderson / David Foster, 1970



I LiKE SONGS
Songs long like a smoke 
Songs fast as an arrow

I like songs
I'm lucky I can sing
Though many others sing better

I know every castle here
Every palace in the neighbourhood
my songs are entered by
Both the common man and the king

I like songs
And when my voice allow me
I will sing today's story
On and on

LOVE iS A PARADiSE
And who do not trust it
Lets he wander the world's edge

Love is a paradise
It has tousand of secret doors
As told in the ancient tale

Love is a shield
Sweet honey and living water
Which I would like to drink

May belongs to love
When the feel and the honour and the devotion will join
Then love becomes the paradise

Love is a paradise
And the one who sings about it here
Knows the ancient tale

May belongs to love
When the feel and the honour and the devotion will join
Then love becomes the paradise

Svatopluk Havelka / Pavel Kopta, 1978
