Levellers Elation Lyrics

Elation Lyrics

Oh there was once a man who had lost his own smile
And he wandered the
country mile after mile
Never quite knowing what he wanted to find
For
his heart it lay heavy with the weight of his mind
And he looked at the land
through the tears in his eyes
For he knew that there were those who would
will her to die
And he wept for his mother as he lay at her feet
And he
heard a voice singing him softly to sleep

I'll be your queen, I'll be
your mother - I'll be your mystical child
Be your best friend, your lover -
Your wife for all time
Will there ever be another, in this life of
mine
Will there ever be another, like my mystical child
So he climbed a
high hill and he looked out to sea
And he heard a voice calling out softly
to him
Open your heart boy for it needs to be free
And the next time
you're crying come running to me

So he walked through the valleys the
trees and the fields
And he came to a river where she waited for him
And
they looked at the water of life flowing by
And he heard a voice saying
'you're not alone in the fight'
