Oh Stevie's Vision

"Now here you go again
You say you want your freedom
Well who am I to keep you down
It's only right that you should
Play the way you feel it
But listen carefully to the sound
Of your loneliness
Like a heartbeat, drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering
What you had, And what you lost
And what you had, And what you lost"

Ruins of ancient civilizations
Tell many stories
Lovers, gamblers, dictators, downfalls and their glories
Peace agents and those with a thirst for blood
Secrets that even today no one wants revealed
Causes of tragedies may be forever sealed
Clues can be found nevertheless so take it slow
History ignored can rear it's head
Don't go down the road of tragedy
Of what could be, If you only knew
Yes could surely be, If you only knew

"Now here I go again, I see the crystal visions
I keep my visions to myself
It's only me who wants to wrap around your dreams and
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell
Dreams of Loneliness like a heartbeat, drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering
What you had, And what you lost
And what you had, oh what you lost"

I use to wear my heart right on my sleeve yeah
to be bruised and battered time and time again
It still beats strong
just tucked away where not just anyone can touch it
Wisdom replaces the energy youth's passing takes away
Wisdom for when that heartbeat, drives you mad
Lessons learned because I grew
Lessons learned because I finally grew

And it is said, "thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing"
Yet love is still thing that makes you grow
In all it's forms that is the greatest you'll know
