ODYSSEY
T. Powers
[Rhy. Fig 1]
[Rhy. Fig 2] (2x)
>From a far off galaxy, I hear you calling me
we are on an odyssey
Through the realms of time and space
In that enchanted place
You and I come face to face
[Rhy. Fig 3]
Once upon not yet, long ago someday
Countless times we've met, met along the way
[Riff 1]
[Rhy. Fig 2] (2x)
Through the luminescent night
On beams of neon light
You and I in wing-ged flight
As we cross the starry sea, powered by what we see
Now and then, the victory
[Rhy. Fig 3]
Once upon not yet, long ago someday
Countless times we've met, met along the way
[Riff 1]
[Rhy. Fig 4 w/ End 1] (2x)
[Rhy. Fig 5] (2x)
There's a child in a sundress
Looking at a rainy sky
There's a place in the desert
Where an ocean once danced by
There's a song in the silence
Weaving in and out of time
We are notes in the music
Searching for remembered rhyme
[Solo over Rhy. Fig 3]
[Rhy. Fig 6 w/ Riff 1]
[Rhy. Fig 3 (2x) w/ Rhy. Fig 6]
On a mountain high somewhere
Where only heroes dare
Stand the stallion and the mare
We have been and we shall be each other's destiny
One another's odyssey
[Rhy. Fig 3]
Once upon not yet, long ago someday
Countless times we've met, met along the way
[Rhy. Fig 1] (2x)
We've met along the way
We've met along the way
[Rhy. Fig 1 w/ Rhy. Fig 7] (repeat and fade)
