One day, in the year of the fox
Came a time remembered well
When the strong young man
of the rising sun
Heard the tolling of
the great black bell
One day in the year of the fox
When the bell began to ring
It meant the time
had come for one to go
To the temple of the king
There in the middle
of the circle he stands
Searching, seeking.
With just one touch
of his trembling hand,
The answer will be found.
Daylight waits while the young man sings
Heaven help me
And then like the rush
of a thousand wings
It shines upon the one
And the day has just begun
One day in the year of the fox
Came a time remembered well
When the strong young man
of the rising sun
Heard the tolling of
the great black bell.
One day in the year of the fox
When the bell began to sing
It meant the time
had come for the one to go
To the temple of the king.
There in the middle of
the people he stands
Seeing, feeling.
With just a wave of
the strong right hand, has gone
To the temple of the king.
Far from the circle
looking at the age of the world
Hes hoping, wondering.
Thinking back on the stories has heard of
What hes going to see
There, in the middle
of a circle it lies
Heaven help me!
Then all could see
by the shine in his eyes
The answer had been found.
Back with the people
in the circle he stands,
Giving, feeling.
With just one touch of
a strong right hand, they know
Of the temple and the king
