Essence To Essence
There have been bad thing done 
There have been some good one 
And many people died 
And many nations cried 
And many babies came 
As many died again 
Yet always Man prevailed 
Yeah though the Devil wailed 


You know we're way out there 
In some galaxy hair 
With all this space around 
We fight to keep our share. 
With all our cruelty 
And all our jealousy 
We find it hard to give 
To just live and let live 
To live and let live 


It's all in the Dance of Life my friend 
It's all in the Song that never ends 
It's all in the Dance of Life my friend 
Following that Yellow Star 
Following that Yellow Star 
Following that Yellow Star 
Following that Yellow Star 


We think that we're so big 
The truth we never, never twig 
And if some Quasar gonna blow 
I guess we'd never, never know 
And long before that day 
When we are burned away 
Let us take time to smile 
And swing a little while 
Just a little while. 


There have been many, many words 
And just as many, many turds 
It's all a kind of dream 
And not quite what it seems 
But when the talking's done 
This Life of Death we're gonna shun 
And turn our heart to Him 
Hailé Sélassié 
Whose Light will never, never dim 


Whoa, oh, oh, 
It's all in the Dance of Life my friend 
It's all in the Song that never ends 
It's all in the Dance of Life my friends 
Following that Yellow Star 


Following that Yellow Star 
Following that Yellow Star 
Following that Yellow Star 
Following that Yellow Star 
Following that Yellow Star.
