The Sign of the Southern Cross

If there isn't light when no one sees

Then how can I know what you might believe

A story told that can't be real

Somehow must reflect the truth we feel, yeah

Fade away, fade away

Vanish into small

Fade away, fade away

Break the crystal ball

Oh, it's the sign

Feels like the time

On a small world west of wonder

Somewhere, nowhere, all

There's a rainbow that will shimmer

When the summer falls

If an echo doesn't answer

When it hears a certain sound

Then the beast is free to wander

But never is seen around

Then it's the sign of the southern cross

It's the sign of the southern cross

All right

Sail away

To the sky

From the book the word is spoken

Whispers from forgotten song

Gather all around the young ones

They will make us strong

Reach up above your dreams of pleasure

Give a life to those who die

Look beyond your own horizons

Sail the ship of sighs

And it's the sign of the southern cross

It's the sign of the southern cross

Fade away, fade away

Break the crystal ball

Fade away, fade away

I can't accept it any more

On a real world west of wonder

Somewhere, nowhere, all

There's a rainbow, see it shimmer

When the summer falls

From the book the word is spoken

Whispers from forgotten song

Gather all around the young ones

They will make us strong

It's the sign of the southern cross

It's the sign of the southern cross

Don't live for pleasure

Make life your treasure

Fade away

Eight miles high, about to fall

And no one there to catch you

Look for the sign, the time

The sign of the southern cross
