The Sage Lyrics - Emerson, Lake & Palmer

I carry the dust of a journey 

That cannot be shaken away 

It lives deep within me 

For I breathe it every day 

You and I are yesterday's answers 

The earth of the past comes to flesh 

Eroded by time's rivers 

To the shapes we now possess. 

Come share of my breath and my substance 

And mingle our streams and our times 

In bright infinite moments 

Our reasons are lost in our lives.
