We the great and small  
Stand on a star  
And blaze a trail of desire  
Through the darkening dawn

When the moon is in the Seventh House  
And Jupiter aligns with Mars  
Then peace will guide the planets  
And love will steer the stars  
This is the **dawning** of the Age of Aquarius  
Age of Aquarius…

Well, the fifth daughter on the twelfth night  
Told the first father that things weren’t right  
“My complexion”, she says, “is much too white”  
He said, “Come here and step into this light”  
Then he says, “You’re right, let me tell the second mother  
This has been done”

But the second mother was with the seventh son  
And they were both out on Highway 61

Everybody talkin’ 'bout the seventh son  
In the whole wide world there is only one  
And i’m the one, i’m the one  
I’m the one, i’m the one  
The one they call the seventh son  
I can tell your future, it will come to pass  
I can do things to you make your heart feel glad  
Look in the sky, predict the rain  
Tell when a woman’s got another man

All we are saying is give peace a chance

I’m starting with the man in the mirror  
I’m asking him to change his ways  
And no message could’ve been any clearer  
If they wanna make the world a better place  
Take a look at yourself and then make a change

Oh Lord, it’s hard to be humble  
When you’re perfect in every way  
I can’t wait to look in the mirror  
‘Cause I get better lookin’ each day  
To know me is to love me  
I must be a hell of a man  
Oh Lord, it’s hard to be humble  
But I’m doin’ the best that I can!

My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me

When I look into your eyes you don’t believe me  
I can see it in your eyes you don’t believe

And the face I see before me  
Is both sides of a mirror  
You really know you’ve got a hold on me  
And the face you’re looking into  
Is both sides of a window  
And any way you look you see through me

Mirror, mirror on the wall  
The face you’ve shown me scares me so  
I thought that I could call your bluff  
But now the lines are clear enough

There were lines on the mirror, lines on her face  
She pretended not to notice, she was caught up in the race  
Out every evening, until it was light  
He was too tired to make it, she was too tired to fight about it

Clear blue and unconditional skies  
Have dried the tears from my eyes  
No more lonely cries  
My only bleedin’ hope is for the folk who can’t cope  
Wit’ such an endurin’ pain  
That it keeps ‘em in the pourin’ rain  
Who’s to blame for tootin’ cane in your own vein  
What a shame  
You shoot and aim for someone else’s brain

I’m so hot for you, I’m so hot for you

Walking on thin ice  
I’m paying the price  
For throwing the dice in the air  
Why must we learn it the hard way  
And play the game of life with your heart?

Many a tear has to fall but it’s all in the game  
All in the wonderful game that we know as love

Brother Pele’s in the back, sweet Zina’s in the front  
Cruising down the freeway in the hot, hot sun  
Suddenly, red-blue lights flash us from behind  
Loud voice booming, “Please step out onto the line”  
Pele preach words of comfort, Zina just hides her eyes  
Policeman taps his shades, “Is that a Chevy '69?”  
How bizarre
