	While the sand slipped through the opening						While the sand slipped through the opening
	And their hands reached for the golden ring						And their hands reached for the golden ring
5	With their hearts they turned to each other's hearts for refuge						With their hearts they turned to each	5

	And on the brave and crazy wings of youth						And on the brave and crazy wings of youth
7	They went flyin' around in the rain						They went flying around in the rain	7
	And their feathers, once so fine, grew torn and tattered						And their feathers, once so fine, grew torn and tattered

	And exchanged love's bright and fragile glow						And exchanged love's bright and fragile glow
	For the glitter and the rouge						For the glitter and the rouge
	And in a moment they were swept before the deluge						And in a moment they were swept before the deluge
	Now let the music keep our spirits high						Now let the music keep our spirits high
	And let the buildings keep our children dry						And let the buildings keep our children dry
9	Let creation reveal its secrets by and by, by and by						Let creation reveal its secrets by and               by	9
10	When the light that's lost within us, reaches the sky						By and by--	10
4							When the light that's lost within us reaches the sky	4
11	Some of them were angry at the way the earth was abused						Some of them were angry	11

	And when the sand was gone and the time arrived						And when the sand was gone and the time arrived
13	In the naked dawn, only a few survived						In the naked dawn only a few survived	13
	And in attempts to understand a thing so simple and so huge						And in attempts to understand a thing so simple and so huge
14	Believed that they were meant to live, after the deluge						Believed that they were meant to live after the deluge	14
	Now let the music keep our spirits high						Now let the music keep our spirits high
	And let the buildings keep our children dry						And let the buildings keep our children dry
15	Let creation reveal its secrets by and by, by and by						Let creation reveal its secrets by and               by	15
	When the light that's lost within us, reaches the sky						By and by--
7							When the light that's lost within us reaches the sky	7
