about

Avalon is, of course, wherever you think it might be.

lyrics

There is a flame in Avalon to guide the wanderer home
Which we too often lose from sight and think we are alone
There are no signs along the way and each must find a path
And the only clues along the way are clues within the heart.

There is a song in Avalon to heal the wounded soul
That brings peace and love to all our dreams and makes what's
broken whole
Sometimes we hear it in our dreams and wake with salty tears
Sometimes it comes on the darkest night in the forest of our 
fears.

And there is a love in Avalon that's patient, strong and wise
Firm as the ground beneath our feet, clearer than summer skies
And those who've seen part of this love don't doubt any more
That it's worth any journey, sailing to the farthest shore.

And there is a dream in Avalon that all can live in peace
Swords will turn to ploughshares and all violence will cease
Justice and freedom triumphing over centuries of pain
Smiles after teardrops, as sunshine follows rain.

But there is a pain in Avalon that's known just to a few
Who find the pathway easily as all true lovers do
And gazing from the gateway they find they can't go inside
But must sing about its beauty to those who need a guide.

There is a flame in Avalon to guide my feet back home
I've been too long travelling and working all alone
You know that you can't follow me, but me I've made my choice
And I'll leave you all my guidebooks, all I'm taking is my voice.
