[ti: To All The Poets]
[length: 05:18]
[00:24.14]To all the poets I have known
[00:30.09]Who saw the beauty in the common place
[00:35.93]Saw incarnation in a Baby’s face
[00:41.94]And in a drop of rain the stars
[00:47.88]When there was mud and blood and tears
[00:54.15]You sang a song at night to calm our fears
[00:59.93]You made a moment last a thousand years
[01:05.73]You are the poets I have known
[01:12.28]To all the poets I have known
[01:17.96]You built a kingdom out of sea and sand
[01:24.05]You conquered armies with a marching band
[01:30.07]You carved a galaxy in stone
[01:36.02]You built an altar out of bread
[01:42.11]And spent your soul to see the children fed
[01:47.81]You wove your heart in every story read
[01:53.94]Thank God for poets I have known
[02:01.66]And you keep in dreamin’
[02:04.62]When the dreams all fade
[02:07.72]When friends desert you
[02:10.44]You’re the ones who stays
[02:13.71]To write the prayers when every prayer had been prayed
[02:20.87]You are the poets I have known
[02:27.22]You turned your tears into a string of pearls
[02:33.03]You held your sorrow high to light the world
[02:39.44]When I thought I was alone
[02:44.98]In every man you saw the boy
[02:51.25]The hidden heart the dark could not destroy
[02:56.79]Slipped past the dragons with a tale of joy
[03:03.04]Thank God for poets I have known
[03:07.49]’Cause you keep on dreamin’
[03:10.67]When the dreams all fade
[03:13.38]When friends desert me
[03:16.28]You’re the ones who stayed
[03:19.30]To write the prayers when every prayer had been prayed
[03:26.73]You walking wounded of my life
[03:32.97]Who bled compassion in the heat of strife
[03:38.96]You stood between my heart and satan’s knife
[03:45.16]With just the armour of a song
[03:51.31]You are the heroes and the brave
[03:57.04]Who with a slender pen our passions save
[04:02.92]And chisel epitaphs upon the graves
[04:09.57]Of all the poets I have known
[04:16.51]So keep on dreamin’
[04:23.15]Keep on dreamin’
[04:28.88]So keep on dreamin’
[04:34.83]Keep on dreamin’
[04:53.29]Keep on dreamin’
