Lyric discussion by just4david 

I believe it is about a man learning his has little time left to live, and hes summing up life by the things he is feling and seeing at that fleeting moment - as he realizes he dying.

as he lies there in thought,fights the urge to sleep - he dozes off dreams

awakes to a song he knows only so well, and realizes it all has very little meaning.....

:) Good interpretation. F.Y.I.-There is a little options box @ the top of the window when you type your stuff,it'll give you the option of whether it is your opinion,interpretation or whatever. ;)

With this song,if I was not suicidal before listening to it,then I am afterwards. It always reminds of the Stephen King "They Come Back",and the kid on the bike gets run down while listening to this song,so ya know I NEVER listen to it when I ride my bike.

Although Steve Walsh turned in a great vocal performance on this song it was written by Kerry Livgren. Kerry Livgren had been reading a book about Native American poetry and this was his inspiration for the lyrics. The melody came from a finger picking exercise he had been playing on an acoustic guitar.
