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 (a) time, hmmm On a small world west of wonder Somewhere, nowhere all There's a rainbow that will shimmer When the summer fall If an echo doesn't answer 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, alright! Sail away To the sign Ohh From the book the word is spoken Whispers from forgotten psalm 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 sign 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 Ahh On a real world west of wonder Somewhere, nowhere ohh There's a rainbow see it shimmer When the summer fall From the book the word is spoken Whispers from forgotten psalm 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
