♫It is Impossible to Say♫

This is one that Bruce will wish he had written. This is a song about the alchemical process. Those familiar with Hermes and The Emerald Tablet will get the associations. This song speaks to me.

Lyrics=

I saw it in a dream last night.

God... It cannot come too soon.

It's the same secret fire

that the sun gives to the moon

Lord... when will I discover

the thing that can't be found?

They say it will condense in time

It's burning in the ground

You have to separate the fire

from the common earth

You have to free your soul

from the prison of its birth

We must distill the essence

of a lifetime of pursuit

We are lost among the branches,

and searching for the root.

Why is it so hard to see

what's concealed inside of me?

And it's even harder to

see that it's concealed in you.

Oh! What does it mean?

How did it get this way?

It really is impossible to say.

You have got to play the fool

In front of everyone

Sure, I know they laugh at us

But we are not quite done.

It could be we're not lost,

that it's a pause along the way.

How long must we wait?

It is impossible to say.

You can feel it burning,

but you cannot find the source.

You must keep on pushing

But it doesn’t come with force

Why is it so hard to see

what's concealed inside of me?

And it's even harder to

see that it's concealed in you.

Oh! What does it mean?

How did it get this way?

It really is impossible to say.

Somewhere in the mystery,

there is a tiny door.

You have got to feel your way,

to what you're looking for

They say it travels on the wind.

They say The Earth's its nurse.

Until we find the center

We'll be moving in reverse

I know that if you don’t give up,

and if your faith is strong

It's certain to arrive in time,

But they don’t say how long.

Why is it so hard to see

what's concealed inside of me?

And it's even harder to

see that it's concealed in you.

Oh! What does it mean?

How did it get this way?

It really is impossible to say.

They say that it's like water,

and yet... it isn't wet.

It makes sense when you find it

But... you haven't found it yet

You haven't found it yet.

You haven't found it yet.

Will it come for you someday?

It is impossible to say.

It really is impossible to say.
