Who knows where the road may lead us
only a fool would say
Who knows if we'll meet along the way
Follow the brightest star
as far as the brave may dare
What will we find when we get there
La Sagrada Familia
we pray the storm will soon be over
La Sagrada Familia
for the lion and the lamb
Who knows where the winds will blow us
only a fool would say
Who knows if we'll ever reach the shore
Follow a rising sun
with eyes that may only stare
What kind of fire will burn us there?
What kind of fire?
Only a fool would say
La Sagrada Familia
the wind has changed the storm is over
La Sagrada Familia
for the lion and the lamb
La Sagrada Familia
we thank the Lord the danger's over
La Sagrada Familia
there's peace throughout the land
Under clear blue skies
our voices rise in songs of glory
And for all those years our eyes and ears
were filled with tears
Who knows where the world may turn us
only a fool would say
Who knows what the fates may have in store
Follow the light of truth
as far as our eyes can see
How should we know where that may be?
How should we know?
Then the angry skies
the battle cries the sounds of glory
And for all those years our eyes and ears
were filled with tears
filled with tears, oh oh
Who knows where the road may lead us
only a fool would say
Who knows what's been lost along the way
Look for the promised land
in all of the dreams we share
How will we know when we are there?
How will we know?
Only a fool would say
La Sagrada Familia
the war is won the battle's over
La Sagrada Familia
for the lion and the lamb
La Sagrada Familia
we thank The Lord the danger's over
La Sagrada Familia
behold the mighty hand
La Sagrada Familia
the night is gone the waiting's over
La Sagrada Familia
there's peace throughout the land
Until the next time
Until the next time
La Sagrada Familia
It is obviously about the second coming of the Lord and the beginning of the thousand years of "peace throughout the land" when the "lion and the lamb" can lie down in peace together. The "storm will soon be over", the "battle is over" (battle with evil will be over when Satan is bound for 1000 years). Our voices will rise with "songs of glory" and finally "we thank the Lord the danger is over, behold the mighty hand". Whether you believe it the millennial reign of Christ or not, the meaning of the lyrics in this song couldn't be more clear. They are not veiled in any way. The only ones who could wonder about these lyrics are those who never went to Sunday School.
Not one of Parsons' better albums, but this track is truly beautiful, as is the final song on the album with its inspired flamenco guitar work.
