Before The Deluge - Joan Baez[00:00:00]

Some of them were dreamers[00:00:19]

And some of them were fools[00:00:23]

Who were making plans and thinking of the future[00:00:26]

With the energy of the innocent[00:00:35]

They were gathering the tools[00:00:39]

They would need to make their journey back to nature[00:00:43]

While the sand slipped through the opening[00:00:52]

And their hands reached for the golden ring[00:00:56]

With their hearts they turned to each other's heart for refuge[00:01:00]

In the troubled years that came before the deluge[00:01:09]

Some of them knew pleasure[00:01:18]

And some of them knew pain[00:01:22]

And for some of them it was only the moment that mattered[00:01:26]

And on the brave and crazy wings of youth[00:01:34]

They went flying around in the rain[00:01:39]

And their feathers once so fine grew torn and tattered[00:01:43]

And in the end they traded their tired wings[00:01:51]

For the resignation that living brings[00:01:55]

And exchanged love's bright and fragile glow[00:01:59]

For the glitter and the rouge[00:02:04]

And in the moment they were swept before the deluge[00:02:09]

Now let the music keep our spirits high[00:02:15]

And let the buildings keep our children dry[00:02:24]

Let creation reveal it's secrets by and by[00:02:30]

By and by [00:02:38]

When the light that's lost within us reaches the sky[00:02:42]

Some of them were angry[00:02:52]

At the way the earth was abused[00:02:55]

By the men who learned how to forge her beauty into power[00:02:59]

And they struggled to protect her from them[00:03:08]

Only to be confused[00:03:13]

By the magnitude of her fury in the final hour[00:03:17]

And when the sand was gone and the time arrived[00:03:25]

In the naked dawn only a few survived[00:03:29]

And in attempts to understand a thing so simple and so huge[00:03:34]

Believed that they were meant to live after the deluge[00:03:42]

Now let the music keep our spirits high[00:03:49]

And let the buildings keep our children dry[00:03:58]

Let creation reveal it's secrets by and by[00:04:04]

By and by [00:04:11]

When the light that's lost within us reaches the sky[00:04:16]
