Mark Powell: "Paige of life" was the fourth of the collaborative albums by John Anderson and Vangelis. Recorded at several locations in Athens and Rome and released by Arista Records in October 1991. "Page of life" was an electric collection of songs and instrumental works that perfectly blended the instrumental genius of Vangelis and the lyrical and vocal acumen of John Anderson. The album track "Wisdom Chain" was released as a promotional Cd single, along with the exquisite "Sing with your eyes" a track not features on the original album.

Page of life:
I
I aspire to know the very meaning of you
This life I awake to each day, each page of life
Ready and alert

To Run and laugh and love and cry with you

I am ready to be with you and take part in the Theatre of the Day with you
For I am alive in this Page of life

II
Dance and jingle my very existence
For you are my totality
My infinite dance step

Crash and signal my scope in words and music again and again

For I am in love with you
I wait for the very moment of you
This page of life

III
Clouds forever, floating by Magical Magician of the sky

Deep and deeper my sense soar in the blue gold of sunlight

I've witnessed you

Coming thru wisdom
Coming thru freedom
Coming together

This love
This page of life

IV
Nowhere else can I see you
Only thru this sound, This music
This ultimate harmony

Only thru this texture, this memory
This remembering
This cry of knowledge

This fire within
Nowhere else can I see you
Nowhere else
Only in music and each page of life.

Anyone can light a candle lyrics

Anyone could light a candle,
But not the way that you do.
Anyone could light a candle.

Just like a flower in the rain,
You are unique, the same.
Each step you take,
Each dream you realize,
Will open your heart, your life.

Anyone can light a candle,
But not the way that you do.

For if we look too close,
Pure magic we would be.
Pure magic we would see.
It's all around each one.

It's all around within.
The perfect union,
Close inside your dreams.
To watch in wonderment,
As each day begins.
They tell me
You can hear this song.

[interlude]

Anyone can light a candle,
But not the way that you do.

So if we look too close,
Pure magic we will be.
Pure magic we will see.

Page of life lyrics

Born from the sky,
We are born to this land.
From a dream, so far away,
I was sent to your heart.
With the stars shining,
We are asked to live as one love.
Never forget, this is.

Trust me to be singlet,
We will sing on the days.
When each voice will be a witness,
Each will sing every way.
There'll be no more empty promises.
We are turning a special page of life.
I will be the one to hold you
In this everlasting dance of love.

Hold me, now forever.
I can remember when
You and I came through the winter.
Now it's summer again.
Be mine, be my love, be my guide, together
We'll be as one, you can count on my life.

Born from the sky.

ahhhhhh.....

Words of discouragement disappear
In your clear eyes.
Never change, never doubt
What you mean to my life.

Money lyrics

Have you seen the magazine
Where all the rich, the kings and queens,
Presidents of politics
And emperors of oh so clean.

Oh so clean.....oh so clean
Oh so clean.....oh so clean

Song for money. Song for money.
Song for money. Song for money.
Song for money. Song for money.
Song for money. Song for money.

The system loves the richest boy,
The richest sheiks of Arabie.
The system loves the richest girl.
A modern mind is climbing free.
The walls are clean, the body dry,
no memory can confuse her why
Because if I'm not there this way,
our crazyness is here to stay

Money, money, money, money, money - MONEY!
Money, money, money, money, money - MONEY!

Money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money
Money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money

Have you seen the shouts us down,
we overroll Manhattan town, we
Hold the uncle by the family,
fakers countin' Tokyo 'round me

Money, money, money, money, money - MONEY!

Song for money. Song for money.
Song for money. Song for money.
Song for money. Song for money.
Song for money. Song for money.
When you got conspiracy.

[interlude]

Money grubs,
Money greeds,
Money chops,
Money speeds,
Money breaks,
Money burns.
Wait a minute! Wait a minute!

It's only money.
It's only money.
It's only money.
It's only money.

Garden of senses lyrics

Days of the garden.
Days in the sun.
Warm in my secret.
Lost in your eyes.

[interlude]

Love, sweet as water.
Love, sweet as wine.

[interlude]

Love, in the moonlight.
Sing with your heart.
(Tell me there's a muse and you know what)
(you do when you sing when you talk when you)

(love with your heart-strings)
Love in the sunlight (Hold me, hold me)
Sing with your heart (hold me, hold me)
(Tell me there's a muse and you know what)
(you do when you sing when you talk when you)
(love with your heart-strings)

With your heart
With your heart
With your heart
(Tell me there's a muse and you know what)
(you do when you sing when you talk when you)
(love with your heart-strings)
With your heart
With your heart

Genevieve lyrics

Genevieve,
Listen for a while.
We are young,
Waking all the time.
Growing as we do,
See the truth we lose,
How we soon forget
This love.

Genevieve,
Tell me if you can.
Who is right,
A woman or a man ?
How we grow the same. (to see who doesn't cry)
Together we create. (the circles round my heart )
Sing, all the world is in (a girl for every boy)
Our eyes. (Genevive)

Genevieve. (Genevive)

Flying to the sky, (flying to the sky)
Holding me this way, (gliding through the sky)

This magic that I feel (magic that is in your eyes)
For you.
Genevieve,
The strongest love of all
Is when we're one
Whenever we're alone.
There's nothing like our love (everybody knows)
That fills this empty space. (the children of the world)
Just let me hear you say (everyday begins love)
It's true.

The way you think of love (show how to believe)
Is in my heart of love. (in this make believe)
This love for everyone, (make each day begin with love)
Genevieve. (love love love....)

Everybody knows.
For the children of the world.
Every day begins
With loving...

Shine for me lyrics

Shine for me,
I'll shine for you,
Each waking dawn,
Each day.

Let these words,
Please, let this song
Take you so
Completely.

You have the gift of love.
You have the gift of life.
Take whatever you need.

Be the light.
For once, be sure.
Be the light
you are.

You are the sound of love.
You are the sound of life.
Take whatever you need.

More will come as you reopen
All your senses changing.
Once you have seen,
Be awake to this life song.

Shine for me,
I'll shine for you,
Each waking dawn,
Each day.

You are the gift of love.
You are the gift of life.
Take whatever you need.

Wisdom chain lyrics

Doo da, da
Did we know the Seven Rays throughout reality
We see how wonderful releasing it is.
Do we cross the Great Divide that spellbinds us
to one degree, this further dimension it is.

Locked in our memory.
Locked in the wisdom chain.
Locked in our memories.
Locked in the wisdom chain.

Do we chase within without, this glowing world,
Come on come out, this future tradition it is.
Can we learn to memorize this mesmerizing music,
Planetary transition it is.

Locked in our memory (locked in our memory)
locked in this wisdom chain (locked in the wisdom chain)
locked in our memories (locked in our memories)
locked in the world of the first
the first time...the first time...the first time
Heaven, heaven, heaven (heaven, heaven)

Watching milli-magnified this fast approaching change of pace
we enter in this human, Love ! Love !
Learning quickly enterprising rhythms of the wisdom chain
For really all purpose, Love ! Love !

watching us watching (bringing the wisdom chain)
bringing the wisdom chain
watching us watching (watching us, watching us, watching us)
Success!

locked in our memory
locked in the wisdom chain (locked in our memory)
locked in our memory
locked in the wisdom chain (locked in the wisdom chain)
locked in our memory
locked in the wisdom chain (locked in our memory)
locked in our memory
locked in the wisdom chain (locked in the wisdom chain)
locked in our memory
locked in the wisdom chain (locked in our memory)
locked in our memory (wisdom chain)
locked in the wisdom chain (locked in the wisdom chain)
locked in our memory (wisdom chain)
locked in the wisdom chain (locked in our memory)
locked in our memory (wisdom chain)
locked in the wisdom chain (locked in the wisdom chain)
locked in our memory (wisdom chain)
locked in the wisdom chain (locked in the wisdom chain)

We will know the Seven Rays throughout reality
We see how wonderful releasing it is.
We will cross the Great Divide that spellbinds us
To one degree, this further dimension it is.

without within (without within, the wisdom chain) music is ours
music is ours (without within, the wisdom chain)
without within (without within, the wisdom chain)
long is the wisdom chain (without within, the wisdom chain)
without within (without within)
love is the perfect place
love is the perfect place

here is the wisdom chain
here is the wisdom chain
here is the wisdom chain (here)
here is the wisdom chain (here is the wisdom chain)
here is the wisdom chain (here)
here is the wisdom chain (here is the wisdom chain)
here is the wisdom chain (here)
here is the wisdom chain (here is the wisdom chain)
