His spirit joined and so was formed ten thousand years ago
between the Swan and Hercules where even dark clouds glow
To live with grace to ride the swell to yet be strong of will
to love the wind to learn its song and empty space to fill

Apollo taught me to rhyme
Orpheus taught me to play
Andromeda casts down her sign
And Vega lights my way

Smoke rings in the galaxy an endless flight through time
Lyra gave her harp to him and left him free to climb
A winter's journey from the moon to reach the summer sun
to rise again to sing for you a song that's yet unsung

Apollo taught me to rhyme
Orpheus taught me to play
Andromeda casts down her sign
And Vega lights my way

His spirit joined and so was formed ten thousand years ago
between the Swan and Hercules where even dark clouds glow
To live with grace to ride the swell to yet be strong of will
to love the wind to learn its song and empty space to fill
