There Was A Time - ALO

The streets and the buildings

That did not exist

The first to arrive

Named what they saw

The next to arrive

Claimed it for their gods

There was a time

Where you and I moved like spirits in the sky

There was a time

And there will come a time again

The spot where we’re standing

Was once long ago (?)

Pagans caught dancing

Beneath a midsummers moon

Led chaning hands (?)

The stories got mixed

Happened so fast

That no one’s ever sure of it

There was a time

Where you and I moved like spirits in the sky

There was a time

And there will come a time again

We come and we go

Stories in the night

Painted on a granite wall

Shadows and fire light

Fire light

The beach faces south

The mountains east to west

That 15, 000 years ago

It was still a nice place to live

Before the great pyramids

Before Jerusalem

People lived and thrived in this same spot

Beneath this same sun

There was a time

Where you and I moved like spirits in the sky

There was a time

When everything that is was just a thought in someone’s mind

There was a time (there was a time)

When you and I moved like spirits in the sky

There was a time (there was a time)

And there will come a time again

We come and we go

Stories in the night

Painted on a granite wall

Shadows and fire light

Fire light

Fire light

Fire light

Fire light

Fire light

There was a time

There was a time

There was a time

There was a time

There was a time
