For Those Who Wrote To the Glory

Rise like the sun
A fatherless eclipse 
Open your eyes 
For morning has come
A new dawn has begun

Over the hills
And into the wheat fields
Where tomorrow comes sudden
For days know no such yield 

touching a forbidden greenery
time has elapsed within a scenery
A touch of west air, rest on the coast 
The wind mills of southern California
A cure for the average dose of pneumonia 

Along the broken stones of Italy
We savages touch gardens so bitterly
Solitaire in a small hut, a genuine feel for luck 
See the face of a plateau as plain as Iceland

Don't leave home
Do you see the headlights
All the on coming traffic
You see, your not so alone
Sun set, another day is gone

I know you're not the same man
But place your hand in mine
It's hard to leave 
When I’m holding on to you

Fare well 
At sea, a rising star
Sweet dreams 
all i see is a rising star
Morning comes
Shines through another day
