MELANCHOLY M I'm a melancholy man, that's what I am. All the world surrounds me, and my feet are on the ground. I'm a very lonely man, doing what I can. All the world astounds me and I think I understand. That we're going to keep growing, wait and see. 4'9 55 When all the stars are falling down Into the sea and on the ground, And angry voices Carry on the wind, A beam of light will fill your head, and you'll remember what's been said By all the good men this world's ever known. Another man is what you'll see Who looks like you and looks like me. And yet somehow he will not feel the same. His life cuaght up in misery, he doesn't think like you and me. 'Cause he ean't see what you and I can see. Mike Pinder The Moody Blues Threshold Music Ltd. 13

DAWNING IS THE DAY Rise, let us see you--dawning is the day. Miss, misty meadow, you will find your way. Wake up in the morning to yourself and leave this crazy world behind you. Listen, we're trying to find you. Flow to the sea, you know where to go. Still we are free, No one tells the wind which way to blow. Wake up in the morning to yourself. Open your eyes and start to be you. Listen, we think we can see you. Baby, there's no price on your head. Sing it, shout it. Now the angry words have all been said. Do it, don't doubt So rise--let us see you. Dawning is the day Miss, misty meadow, you will find your way. Wake up in the morning to yourself--open your head and look around you. Listen, we think we have found you. i justin Hayward The Moody Blues TRO-Andover Music, Inc. 12

THE BALANCE After he had journeyed, and his feet were sore, and he was tired, He came upon an orange grove, and he rested. And he lay in the cool, and while he rested he took to himself an orange and tasted it, And it was good. And he felt the earth to his spine. And he asked and he saw the tree above him, and the stars and the veins in the leaf and the light and balance. And he saw magnificent perfection Whereon he thought of himself in balance. And he knew he was. lust open your eyes and realize the way it's always been. lust open your mind and you will find the way it's always been. just open your heart, and that's a start. And when he thought of those he angered, for he was not a violent man, And he thought of those he hurt for he was not a cruel man, And he thought of those he frightened, for he was not an evil man. And he understood, he understood himself. Upon this he saw that when he was of anger, or knew hurt or felt fear, It was because he was not understanding, and he learned compassion. And with his eye of compassion, He saw his enemies like unto himself And he learned love. Then, he answered. just open your eyes, and realize the way it's always been. just open your mind and you will find the way it's always been. lust open your heart, and that's a start.
