everything in creation has its appointed painter or poet and remains in bondage like the princess in the fairy tale 'til its appropriate liberator comes to set it free.

it was written in the stars
what was written in the stars shall be
it was written in the skies
that the heart and not the eyes shall see

and so whether it bring joy
whether it bring woe
it shall be done
now suddenly I know
you are the one

here as in a daydream
by my side you stand
here with my tomorrows
in your hands

it was written high above
that I have to have your love
or i'll never be free
and cloudy though the day be
crazy though I may be
what the stars foretold shall be

here as in a daydream
by my side you stand
here with my tomorrows
in your hands

it was written high above
that I have to have your love
or i'll never be free
and cloudy though the day be
crazy though I may be
what the stars foretold shall be

and so shall it be...

'the great quality of true art, is that it rediscovers, grasps and reveals to us the reality far from which we live, from which we get further & further away as the conventional knowledge we substitute for it becomes thicker and more impenetrable, the reality that we might die without having known and which is simply our life, life finally discovered and clarified....'
