Yes - The Ladder
  1. Homeworld (The Ladder) 9:33

    Nothing can take us far enough
    Emotion... far enough together
    As the light shines so bright
    Bright enough to let us in

    Nothing can bridge our souls.
    Devotion... fast enough together
    As the power proves you right
    Right enough to let you begin

    So many displaced among the future dreamers
    Realised their doubles
    Took a new step
    A question of origin

    Only in the recent past
    Seeking for to realise
    Skyward shone
    Like beacons
    A question of origin

    Ten thousand millions free
    To the westward light
    The dreamers represent
    This arc of peace

    As the poets entranced
    The anchor redeemed
    Secrets of science
    The history of the future
    Was surely made

    Just what keeps us so alive
    Just what makes us realise
    Our home
    Is our world, our life
    Home is our world

    Nothing can take us far enough
    Emotion... far enough together
    As the light shines so bright
    Bright enough to let us in

    Nothing can bridge our souls
    Devotion... fast enough together
    As the power proves you right
    Right enough to let you begin

    Speak so fast to the prophets
    Of the living
    Looking for the signs
    Spanning out the centuries
    Search for truth

    Ancient ones... they watch
    And listen
    Carry our wishes...
    Took upon themselves to guide us
    Through the endless skies

    Just what keeps us so alive
    Just what makes us realise
    Our home
    Is our world, our life
    Our hope is our world, our life

    I have seen the passion
    That's in the hope that everyone
    Will find their way into
    The secret of
    The home of your heart

    Living within the vision
    Within the power, beyond belief
    We see that hate destroys the soul
    Of anyone who tries to teach it

    I have seen the dream
    That's in your heart
    That's in your eyes
    To bring you closer to the one

    It. s what keeps us so alive
    It's what makes us realise
    Our home is our world, our life
    Just what keeps us so alive
    Just what makes us realise
    Our home
    Is our world, our life
    Home is our world, our life

    Send, ascending to the secrets
    All is pure and clear to resolve
    Nothing can change us now
    Send, ascending to the future
    Nothing can ever change us now
    We follow the sun
    We follow the sun
    We follow the sun

    Truth is a simple place
    Here for us all to see
    Reach as it comes to you
    As it comes to me
    As I will always need you inside my heart

    Peace is a word we teach
    A place for us all to reach
    Sing as it sings to you
    As it sings to me
    As I will always need you inside my heart

Yes
