Dry your eyes 
and take your song out, 
it's a newborn afternoon.
And if you can't recall the singer 
you can still recall the tune.
Dry your eyes and play it slowly 
like you're marching off to war
sing it like you know he'd want it, 
like we sang it once before.
And from the center of the circle 
to the midst of the waiting crowd
if it ever be forgotten 
sing it long and sing it loud 
and come dry your eyes.

And he taught us more about giving 
than we ever cared to know,
but we came to find the secret 
and we never let it go.
And it was more than being holy 
and it was less than being free,
and if you can't recall the reason 
can you hear the people sing.

Right through the lightning and the thunder 
to the dark side of the moon
to that distant falling angel 
that descended much too soon
and come dry your eyes.

Dry your eyes 
and take your song out, 
it's a newborn afternoon.
And if you can't recall the singer 
you can still recall the tune.
Come dry your eyes.
Dry your eyes 
come dry your eyes
Dry your eyes
