“Sometimes the human race is given absolutely marvelous gifts, and we take those gifts and squander them just because we are human beings. This is all about that.” — Stuart Adamson, BBC Live In Concert.

[1rendezvous]

It's a masterpiece! just like all their songs!

[Artisanian1]

It is stunning I agree

[Thekanbi1]

Stunning

[1rendezvous]

High above the forest in an unseen place

Where the clouds will gather on another race

In the dungeon depths of an unknown cave

There’s a stream that springs with a world to save

And it gathers up strength as it rolls along

And it gathers up hope for everyone

But it runs to plains where the farmlands weep

Through the brand new gardens where rich men sleep

[1rendezvous]

I’m gonna find it, I’m gonna prove it

And show the whole damned world how to use it

WHEN I FIND IT, WHEN I PROVE IT

I KNOW THAT SOME DAMNED FOOL IS GONNA LOSE IT

For it’s the river of hope, from the pool of tears

It’s the river of hope, it’s the river we lost for years

Past the chemical plant where the junk flows in

By the nuclear project where the children swim

Under bridges in a city where the bodies float

And the summer smell keeps the flies remote

[1rendezvous]

Through the swamp of a ghetto where the mission was lost

Where the dope is king and the silver boss

Past the trash and wreckage from the garbage trucks

Past the oil slick where the jail boat docks

To a home in some sea at the nations end

Where the submarine is freedom’s friend

If we need that river like we did before

THERE CAN BE NO NEED FOR IT LIVES NO MORE

[1rendezvous]

The talent that is Big Country for all to see! Yes they PLAY all the instruments and SING LIVE! What, they never won a grammy? Just know WORLD while you r watching the arse shakers, rap crap and lipsynchers at the grammies, there is one band that puts them all to shame never recognised for their brilliance! You see, skill and talent never rewarded!
