If there isn't light when no one sees

then how can I know what you might believe?

A story told that can't be real

somehow must reflect the truth we feel, yeah



Fade away, fade away

vanish into small

Fade away, fade away

break the crystal ball - OH!



It's the sign

feels like the time!



On a small world, west of wonder

somwhere, nowhere all

There's a rainbow that will shimmer

when the summer falls

If an echo darts in dancer

when it hears a certain song

Then the beast is free to wander

but never is seen around



And it's the Sign of the Southern Cross

it's the Sign of the Southern Cross

all right

sail away

to the sign

ohh



From the book, the word is spoken

whispers from forgotten psalms

Gather all around the young ones

they will make us strong

Reach above your dreams of pleasure

given life to those who died

Look beyond your own horizons

sail the ship of signs



And it's the Sign of the Southern Cross

it's the Sign of the Southern Cross

Fade away, fade away

break the crystal ball

Fade away, fade away

I can't accept it anymore



On a real world, west of wonder

somwhere, nowhere all

There's a rainbow, see it shimmer

when the summer falls

From the book, the word is spoken

whispers from forgotten psalms

Gather all around the young ones

they will make us strong!



It's the Sign of the Southern Cross

It's the Sign of the Southern Cross



Don't live for pleasure

make life your treasure

Fade away!

Eight miles high, about to fall

and no one there to catch you

look for the sign, the time

the Sign of the Southern Cross, yeah
