The End of the Return - Rick Wakeman/Fraser Thorneycroft-Smith/Phil Williams/Simon Hanson/London Symphony Orchestra/David Snell/English Chamber Choir/Guy Protheroe, Rick Wakeman, David Snell

Return to the centre of the earth,

A world within a world,

An endless journey in time.

Return to an origin of life,

Of secrets left untold,

A mountain there to climb.

Return to the centre of the earth,

Heaven waiting for life to appear

In a perfect creation of time,

A message for no-one to hear.

Time,

Time within a world,

Centre,

Centre of the earth,

Searching for secrets of time,

A sign.

Return to the origin of time,

To the hidden cry of man,

To a sanctuary of life beneath the earth,

A meeting place,

A point of no return to the centre of the earth.

The return to the centre of the earth,

To a meeting place of time in a

hidden inner world.

Return to the centre of the earth,

To a wonderland of dreams,

Everlasting in the understanding of our belonging,

And to the race that can never be won.

Evermore the meaning of a future presence,

With the oracle leading to the centre of the earth,

The earth,

Return,

Return to the centre of the earth,

To a wonderland of dreams,

There’s a world within a world,

Find the place of no return,

To the centre of the earth.
