Actually you are the first to quote these beginning lines, but have a look at my forum signature... There is real meaning to the lyrics, I couldn't believe it either when I saw it first!ShockedShockedShocked
OK, this would be my favourite

Open doors we find our way
We look we see we smile
Surely daybreaks cross our path
And stay maybe a while

Let them run, let them chase
Let them hid between
Constant doors will open eyes
As life seems like
Life seems like a
Fight, fight, fight
Close to the Edge analized!!!

"And you and I climb over the valleys of endless seas.."

Beautifully expresses nothing.
What you cannot speak of, you have to pass on in silence.

"And in a time that's closer, life will be even bolder then.
Souls will be complicated, life will be consummated then.
Hearts will be brought together soon in our minds forever then.
As long as we see there's only us, who can change it;
Only us to rearrange it at the start of a new kind of day.
And in a time that's closer, life will be even bolder then.
Love is the only answer, hate is the root of cancer then.
Thoughts will be thought together, soon in our minds forever then."

 - Then

This one line from Close to the Edge holds a lot of significance for me and stresses the importance of self-actualization.

But eventually I came to realize that since I have not reached spiritual enlightenment and I am no perfect human, who am I to judge his beliefs?
Who are you?  You're a prog fan, that's who!LOL

Why must my spell-checker continually underline the word "prog"?

Also this set of lyrics I've always been moved by:

Look around - got no place to stay.
God I hate this town, depending on the day.
You look me up, you look me down - alright, OK.

While I got no life, I got no hope,
of falling in love.
Help me through the fight;
Help me win tonight - I'm calling.

What to do I find it hard to know;
The road I walk is not the one I chose

Lift me up and turn me over;
Lead me on into the dawn.
Take me to the highest mountain;
Tie me up, love in a storm.
Have you decided on my fortune?
Facing the future in your eyes,
With your imperial behaviour
We fight amidst the battle cries.

Open doors - They may be closed to me;
The fire's still burning in my heart...

What to do I find it hard to know;
I want to turn my life around...

In the street where we live there's a place called desire.
There's a stone-cold intrusion of mad man's fire,
But he leaves when the lust and desire released,
And you're left with an empty room in peace.

Saving my heart for you - You do what you want to do
There's a place in my heart for you - This time I'm watching you
Till the blood in my veins run dry - I'll be there to testify
There's a place in my heart for you...

I've been lost in the maze of emotional confound.
I believe that you knew our faith was secure;
How you kept up your smile with a cool disposition,
Are you stocking the fire with a new sense of reason...

You tell me to take it easy, but it's not my style.
There's something around the corner; it'll pass you by.
I wanna hold you closer to connect my fortunes.
I wannt take you higher, taking off like we did before.

Sur tant de mers, tant de planchers,
Un marin mort,
Il dormira

Nice one. Probably my favorite too

My All time would easily be Onward
Contained in everything I do
There's a love, I feel for you
Proclaimed in everything I write
You're the light
Burning, brightly
Onward through the night
Onward through the night
Onward through the night of my life

Displayed in all the things I see
There's a love you show to me
Portrayed in all the things you say
You're the day
Leading the way
Onward through the night
Onward through the night
Onward through the night of my life

Onward through the night
Onward through the night
Onward through the night of my life

BEAUTIFUL!

Even Siberia goes through the motions...

River running right on over the
Outboard, river,
Bluetail, tailfly,
Luther, in time,
Suntower, asking,
Cover, lover,
June cast, moon fast,
As one, changes,
Heart gold, leaver,
Soul mark, mover,
Christian, changer,
Called out, savior,
Moon gate, climber,
Turn round, glider.

"Turn of the Century"...

"Now roan, no more tears.
Set to work his strength.
So transformed him
Realising a form out of stone. his work
So absorbed him.
Could she hear him?
Could she see him?
All aglow was his room dazed in this light.
He would touch her
He would hold her.
Laughing as they danced.
Highest colors touching others."

I particularly like that lyric becuase of it's romantic nature. It wrenches and soothes the heart one moment than the next.

"Remebering high the memory"

Stand on Hills of long forgotten yesterdays
Pass amongst your memories told returning ways
As certain as we walk today
We walk around the story

It's just poetry man... and I'm puffing it.

From Awaken :
 
Like the time I ran away
and turned around
and you were standing close to me
 
From Wonderous Stories :
 
He spoke of lands not far
or lands they were in his mind.
Of fusion captured high
where reason captured his time.
In no time at all he took me to the gate.
In haste I quickly checked the time.
if I was late I had to leave to hear your wonderous stories.
 
From Beyond and before :
 
Sparkling trees of silver foam cast shadows in winter home,
Swaying branches breaking sound, lonely forest trembling ground.
Masquerading leaves of blue run circles round the morning dew,
Patterns understood by you, reaching out beyond and before.
 
From Starship Trooper:
 
Speak to me of summer, long winters longer than time can remember,
Setting up of other roads, travel on in old accustomed ways.
I still remember the talks by the water, the proud sons and daughters that,
In the knowledge of the land, spoke to me in sweet accustomed ways.

Listen...
Your friends heve been broken
They tell us of your poison,
 
Now we know...
 
Kill them!
 
Give them as they gave us!
 
Slay them!
 
Burn their childrens laughter... on to Hell!

I like:

"A seasoned witch could call you from the depths of your disgrace,
And rearrange your liver to the solid mental grace,"

primarily for never having paid attention to them or reading them while listening to the music, then I read someone quoting those lyrics and thinking WFT?

One of my favorite early Yes period lyrics is from Survival:

"Don't doubt the fact there's life within you
Yesterday's endings will tomorrow life give you
All that dies
Dies for a reason
To put it's strength into the seasons"
