Originally written in 1976 and titled "Poet's Elysian", I've since re-structured the song and added a bridge. The new title makes much more sense to me - since that's what this music (particularly this song) is all about.

lyrics

Many a word has been spoken
And many a poet believes
And though it's a vanishing notion
Often a dreamer can see
There is a river I'm told
Flowing through fields of hay
Down to where moments are golden
Far, far away

Often alone I envision the day meeting the wind and the sky
Reaching the water and drifting away To Life

Many a hero may gather
Still there's room for one lowly as I
For there only freedom will matter
Far from the warrior's cry
And here though I may be forsaken
Spending tonight in the cold
Some day I hope to awaken
Warm in the fold

Often alone I envision the day meeting the wind and the sky
Reaching the water and drifting away To Life, To Life, To Life

We love, we grow
We come, we go...
