0:10Well I dreamed I saw the knight in armor coming
0:14Saying something about a king
0:19There were peasants singing and drummers drumming
0:24And the archer split the tree
0:29There was a fanfare blowing to the sun
0:34That was floating on the breeze
0:42Look at mother nature on the run
0:47In the twenty-first century
0:52Look at mother nature on the run
0:57In the twenty-first century
1:04I was lying in a burned out basement
1:09With the full moon in my eyes
1:14I was hoping for replacement
1:19When the sun burst through the sky
1:23There was a band playing in my head
1:29And I felt like I could cry
1:36I was thinking about what a friend had said
1:41I was hoping it was a lie
1:47Thinking about what a friend had said
1:52I was hoping it was a lie
2:09Well I dreamed I saw the silver spaceships flyin'
2:14In the yellow haze of the sun
2:19There was laughing, crying and colors flying
2:24All around the chosen one
2:28All in a dream, all in a dream, the loading had begun
2:42Flying mother nature's silver seed to a new home in the sun
2:51They were flying mother nature's silver seed to a new home
3:09♪
