Yes – Perpetual Change Lyrics 14 years ago
It seems that this song is about man's belief that we can control life, the universe, and everything, when in fact we're only a part something bigger that is beyond out power to control and ever-changing along in its own cycles and paths. The person who mentioned the moon landing as a possible inspiration is probably spot-on: "And there you are/saying we have the moon, so now the stars".

It's terrible that this song is so unknown. I'm a big fan of Yes, but I'd never heard it until picking up the LP at a community garage sale last weekend. It's suddenly become my favorite Yes tune of all.
