The highest excellence is like (that of) water. The excellence
of water appears in its benefiting all things, and in its occupying,
without striving (to the contrary), the low place which all men
dislike. Hence (its way) is near to (that of) the Tao.
The excellence of a residence is in (the suitability of) the place;
that of the mind is in abysmal stillness; that of associations is in
their being with the virtuous; that of government is in its securing
good order; that of (the conduct of) affairs is in its ability; and
that of (the initiation of) any movement is in its timeliness.
And when (one with the highest excellence) does not wrangle (about
his low position), no one finds fault with him. Tao Te Ching
by Lao-tzu

Got out of town on a boat
Goin' to Southern islands.
Sailing a reach
Before a followin' sea.
She was makin' for the trades
On the outside,
And the downhill run
To Papeete.
Off the wind on this heading
Lie the Marquesas.
We got eighty feet of the waterline.
Nicely making way.
In a noisy bar in Avalon
I tried to call you.
But on a midnight watch I realized
Why twice you ran away.
Chorus
Think about how many times
I have fallen
Spirits are using me
larger voices callin'.
What heaven brought you and me
Cannot be forgotten.
I have been around the world,
Lookin' for that woman/girl,
Who knows love can endure.
And you know it will.
And you know it will.
When you see the Southern Cross
For the first time
You understand now
Why you came this way
'Cause the truth you might be runnin' from
Is so small.
But it's as big as the promise
The promise of a comin' day.
So I'm sailing for tomorrow
My dreams are a dyin'.
And my love is an anchor tied to you
Tied with a silver chain.
I have my ship
And all her flags are a flyin'
She is all that I have left
And music is her name.
Chorus
Think about how many times
I have fallen
Spirits are using me
larger voices callin'.
What heaven brought you and me
Cannot be forgotten.
I have been around the world,
Lookin' for that woma/girl,
Who knows love can endure.
And you know it will.
And you know it will.
So we cheated and we lied
And we tested
And we never failed to fail
It was the easiest thing to do.
You will survive being bested.
Somebody fine
Will come along
Make me forget about loving you.
At the Southern Cross.
Goin' to Southern islands.

Before a followin' sea.

On the outside,
And the downhill run

Child Of Vision lyrics
Songwriters: Davies, Richard; Hodgson, Roger;
Who do you think you're foolin'?
You say you're having fun
But you're busy going nowhere
Just lying in the sun
You tried to be a hero
Commit the perfect crime
But the dollar got you dancing
And you're running out of time
You're messin' up the water
You rolling in the wine
Got poison in your body
Got poison in your mind
And you gave me coca cola
You said it tasted good
Then you watch the television
And to tell that you should go
How can you live in this way?
(What do you think it's so strange)
You must have something to say
(You tell me why should I change)
We have no reason to fight
'Cos we both know that we're right
Child of vision, won't you listen?
Find yourself a new ambition
I've heard it all before
You're saying nothing new
I thought I saw a rainbow
But I guess it wasn't true
You cannot make me listen
And I cannot make you hear
So you find your way to heaven
And I'll meet you when you're there
How can you live in this way?
(What do you think it's so strange)
You must have something to say
(You tell me why should I change)
We have no reason to fight
'Cos we both know that we're right
Child of vision, won't you listen?
Find yourself a new ambition
