(Anderson)
The day the Circus of Heaven came to town
Local folks lined the streets in a Midwestern town

Waiting anxiously for the parade to begin all round
On the very last day


A Unicorn headed the Mystical way
Surrounded by what seemed a thousand golden angels at play
Behind were Centaurs, elves, bright fairies all in colours of

Jade
On the very final day


For what seemed only just a moment in time
Seven solemn flying silvered regal horses rode by
Seven golden chariots in tow, a wonder to behold

The Seven Lords of the Mountains of time
There then arose where nothing really stood there before
A giant tent rising one thousand feet high from the floor

Towns people flocked inside with their eyes all amazed
To greet the Seventh Lord of the Seventh age
A fanfare rang out in an incredible sound

Bringing out the strangest visions perfect harmony round
Any dreams he asked would they like to have seen
>From historical or mythical scenes


Then there above their heads just as vivid as life
Each vision transported in multitudes inventing light

Grecian galleons, The Sack of Troy, to the Gardens of Babylon
A play of millions roared along
The gigantic dreams of Alexander the Great

Civil wars where brothers fought and killed their friendship in
hate
All seen by Zeus performing scenes of the magical way

The day the circus came to town

Outside great animals as tame as the trees

Angels high in starlight dancing streets
Tuning their colours with indigo and gold
Dropping violet, red and emerald snow

As the circus finally changed its invisible course
A new world to be found


On the dreamy ground we walked upon
I turned to my son and said
"Was that something beautiful, amazing, wonderful, extraordinary

beautiful?"
"Oh! it was OK!! But there were no clowns, no tigers, lions or
bears,

candy-floss, toffee apples, no clowns."
