Текст песни: The Light + перевод

What

Makes a dream

So very different

From any other dream

Where is that

Straight line

That I can hold up

To the light

And say no!

This is not right

This does not

Stand up

In the light

Call me Cavanaugh

I’m the one with the caveman jaw

Call me Smitty or Jones

Talkin' on the tv’s and the telephones

I am the critical masses

Stand back and watch as time passes

I am the centerfold

I know the stories before they get told

You can call me Kennedy

You may have killed him but you cannot kill me

I am the crippled and blind

I paint the pretty pictures on the subway signs

Yeah, I am everything to everyone

And I won’t go away at the point of a gun

All of this in one man

I am rock 'n roll

I am classical, country and soul

I am the nun and the flasher

I am the father, the son and the bastard

I am the church and the steeple

Open the door and see all the people

I’m coming down

People’s garden

Garden people (I'm coming down)

People’s garden

Garden people (garden people)

Garden people

Look!

There’s a light

Headed for the sun

Stand and you might

Turn to everyone

The lady, the lass

Melt into glass

Looking straight into the light

Stand at the door

That would not open wide

You tried so hard before

But now we’re on your side

You see us all — the left and the right

Looking straight into the light

You see us all — the left and the right

Looking straight into the light

Looking straight into the light

Looking straight into the light!

In the light

I am the man in mountain

I stand alone — I’ve been downed

In a sea of loveless illusion

So many lost — so many drowned

Got no church — got no steeple

Got no time for you people

I live the life of a shadow

The only chance that I have now

Is there

In the light

They wore all kinds of things on their heads to disguise

That they’d rather be unfettered than be wealthy and wise

And they listened as their enemies made a similar sound

And they watched a million cars go by

They were gaining some ground

But they didn’t know what to do

With this thing they had found

So they had a party?! (So they had a party)

I am senor Valasco

I drink my milk with tabasco

Got no place to stand

Got no home, no land, but I

Don’t ever want to die

Don’t place no one before I

I am the mask and the chamber

I know of love not of danger

Got no place to go

Ain’t nothin' better than be here

Don’t ever want to die

Don’t place no one before I

Don’t ever want to die

Don’t place no one before I

I am the catfish man!

I can’t hear you!

Go ahead and have a nice day now

Go ahead and say what you say now

I stand humanis erectus

Stand back… ha… ha… ha!

I am… I am

All of this in one man

What

Makes a dream

So very different

From any other dream

Where is that

Straight line

That I can hold up

To the light and say yes!

This is alright

This one will

Stand up

In the

Light
