The Tinder Box
Arena

It all began with a single spark

The universe the world and me

That spark - it's still there, the source of living things

The source of this eternity


I saw the little people working there

In the echoes and the chambers of my mind

And i saw the lantern man as he stood so still

And the child knew this gentle soul - his kindness


The light went on - and he was gone

But the meaning - the meaning still remained

Like the fading away of a sweet familiar taste

Like the cleasing of the cool summer rain


I was a child then - I never understood

I was a child then - but I knew more than I should

We are innocent - we are ignorant

We are a spark from the tinderbox

The element - the miracle


I had no time for the hand on my shoulder


I had no time for the voices in my head

I didn't even notice when the room grew even colder

This was no sleight of hand this was no silver thread


If there's magic in this show, it is greater than we think

They tried to tell me once, to decide what I should think

I am free now

I am free


With age brings a blindness of the spirit and the soul

If only you were here now I could finally tell you


I know I know!

We are children - We could never understand

We are dancers, we are actors we are players in the sand

We are children - We could never understand

We are part of this arena; we are part of this band

We're a spark from the tinderbox

We're a spark from the tinderbox
