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
