Lyrics

Overture
05:22
Captain Walker
Didn't come home.
His unborn child
Will never know him.
Believe him missing
With a number of men.
Don't expect
To see him again.
It's a Boy
00:39
Nurse:
It's a boy Mrs. Walker it's a boy.
It's a boy Mrs. Walker it's a boy.

Chorus:
A son! A son! A son!
1921
02:50
I've got a feeling '21
Is going to be a good year.
Especially if you and me
See it in together.

So you think '21
Is going to be a good year.
It could be good for me and her,
But you and her - no, never!
I had no reason to be over optimistic,
But somehow when you smiled
I could brave bad weather.

What about the boy?
What about the boy?
What about the boy?
He saw it all!

You didn't hear it.
You didn't see it.
You won't say nothing to no-one
Ever in your life.
You never heard it.
Oh, how absurd it
All seems without any proof.
You didn't hear it.
You didn't see it.
You won't say nothing to no-one.
Never tell a soul
What you know is the Truth.
Amazing Journey
03:25
Deaf, dumb and blind boy
He's in a quiet vibration land.
Strange as it seems, his musical dreams
Ain't quite so bad.

Ten years old with thoughts as bold as thoughts can be.
Loving life and becoming wise
In simplicity.

Sickness will surely take the mind
Where minds can't usually go.
Come on the amazing journey
And learn all you should know.

A vague haze of delirium
Creeps up on me.
All at once a tall stranger I suddenly see.
He's dressed in a silver sparkled
Glittering gown
And his golden beard flows
Nearly down to the ground.

Nothing to say and nothing to hear
And nothing to see.
Each sensation makes a note
In my symphony.

Sickness will surely take the mind
Where minds can't usually go.
Come on the amazing journey
And learn all you should know.

His eyes are the eyes that
Transmit all they know.
Sparkle warm crystalline glances to show
That he is your leader
And he is your guide
On the amazing journey
Together you'll ride.
