That's what you say
Could it really happen to you
Does that explain
This is the season for this display
To take a look
In time to move together

Time is the measure before it's begun
Slips away like running water
Live for the pleasure, live by the gun
Heritage for sun and daughter
Down to the slaughter up for the fun
Up for anything

Could this be true
Does it ever happen to you
And can you prove
That wheels go 'round in reasons
You take a step
In time
To move together

Time is the measure before it's begun
Slips away like running water
Live for the pleasure, live by the gun
Heritage for sun and daughter
Down to the slaughter up for the fun
Up for anything

You walk, the way
You take, the path
To be, assured
You draw, a graph
The scale, you use
Is all, on black
Be brave, the weight
Will make, the heat
There is, no way
To take-it back

Time is the measure before it's begun
Slips away like running water
Live for the pleasure, live by the gun
Heritage for sun and daughter
Down to the slaughter up for the fun
Up for anything

That's what you say
Could it really happen to you
Does that explain
This very reason for this display
To take a look
In time to move together
Together

Yes

Yes are an English rock band formed in 1968 by bassist Chris Squire and singer Jon Anderson.

The band first achieved success in the 1970s with a progressive, art and symphonic style of rock music. They are distinguished by their use of mystical and cosmic lyrics, live stage sets, and lengthy compositions, often with complex instrumental and vocal arrangements. Nine of their twenty studio albums have reached the top ten in either the UK or US, with two reaching number one in the UK. They have sold 13.5 million certified units in the US.
