The Sage

 Emerson, Lake, and Palmer

Cynthia, this entry is for you!  It's based on your entry, "Father Christmas" by ELP.  This is the trek of the Idealist.

The Sage

by Greg Lake

(sung by Emerson, Lake, and Palmer)

I carry the dust of a journey
that cannot be shaken away
It lives deep within me
for I breathed it every day

You and I are yesterday's answers
the earth of the past come to flesh
Eroded by time's rivers
to the shapes we now possess

Come share of my breath and my substance
and mingle our streams and our times
In bright infinite moments
our reasons are lost in our eyes

Another ELP song I loved.  I listened to them endlessly when I was a teenager.  It's no surprise that I'm a lyrics driven person, but I had to delve through the layers of the music for the lyrics to ELP and then what treasures I found.  Thanks for this entry Theresa.
