[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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 old man sings Heaven help me
Just like the rush of a thousand wings It shines upon the one And the day had just begun
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
There in the middle of the people he stands Seeing, feeling
With just a wave of a strong right hand, he's gone To the temple of the king
[Instrumental]
Am / F / G / Am
Am / G / Dm F / Am
[Chorus]
Far from the circle, at the edge of the world He's hoping, wondering
Thinking back from the stories he's heard of What he's gonna 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
[Outro]
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
(Uh uh uhh...)
