Lost and lonely tattered man
broken on the street
he’s not a lucky one
but refl ected in his eyes
audacious man of hope
smiled broadly and spoke to us
we can all be the lucky ones
Oh, when we realize
We can change the world together
Yes we can, you know we can
We can strive for peace and justice
Yes we can, you know we can
We can fi ght for truth, we can
His visionary eloquence
is in my heart and mind
I know we’re the lucky ones
if we can use that strength for all
I looked inside myself
to try to understand
if anybody can (can understand)
how to stand up strong and never fall
But the stars can tell a story
that you may not want to hear
they can make you feel much smaller
than the shadow of a fear
Yes the stars can tell a story
of a world inside a tear
We can tell the world a story
that it really needs to hear
it can make you feel much larger
than the shadow of a fear
Yes we’ll tell the world a story
of a world inside of a tear, a tear
I try to turn myself
into a better man
A New American
who reads the writing on the wall
I wake up breathing deeply
I’m revitalized
I’ve got my open eyes
I know we’ll stand up
strong and never fall
We can change the world together
Yes we can, you know we can
We can strive for peace and justice
Yes we can, you know we can
We can heal this broken nation
Yes we can, Yes we can
We can fi ght for truth, we can
But the stars can tell a story
that you may not want to hear
they can make you feel much smaller
than the shadow of a fear
Yes the stars can tell a story
of a world inside a tear
We can tell the world a story
that it really needs to hear
it can make us feel much larger
than the shadow of a fear
Yes we’ll tell the world a story
and the world will stand up and cheer

Absolutely hooked on this album from first listen. How rare is that with prog!??? Excellent songwriting and musicianship. Can’t wait to dive into the rest of the collection. Thomas Lock

In the wake of buying the Welcome To The Planet I also went for this older "EP" (clocking in on 70 minutes a rather big big EP...) as a final farewell to a very bright bright star that sadly doesn't shine anymore. Carsten Pieper
