The Moody Blues 'Arrive' at The Falklands (2003)

When I was young and life was shiny and bright
I'd put on a record and turn out the light
Just to absorb the words that were said
As I lay transfixed on the top of my bed

There were eerie shadows cast into the night
By the little bulb of the stereo light
The fantastic sounds would explode into life
And I'd be gone into heaven without problems and strife

There were many sounds that I liked to play
But one in particular took my breath away
It forged my life with it's wonder and awe
My imagination ran wild, I couldn't believe what I saw

‘To Our Childrens Childrens Children' was the ultimate fuse
An epic created by ‘The Moody Blues'
The creation of life and the mystery of death
Just what is ‘life' like when you've taken your last breath?

Great memories so distant of times long ago
How the years have combined to stifle the glow
The experience of life in the following years
Has dulled the shine and increased the fears

But then one night in the depths of despair
I replayed the epic to fill out the air
Eight thousand miles and thirty years on
The CD ensured that the memories weren't gone

In the dark and alone as I laid down my head
I was transfixed once again on the top of my bed
I saw it again and I let out a grin
As The Moodies sang out - "You gotta make the journey out and in"…
