Ronnie's Comments

As we grow older, we reflect on what has gone by and begin to recognise what has been important. There are memories of youth and vitality; and risk and adventure, but as the years go by, the bright lights that lit up our youth begin to fade. Friends begin to leave the stage one by one, until we are left alone.

There is a realisation that none of us have actually owned anything – even though the gathering of possessions and wealth will have dominated most of our effort and toil. We regret the things we did not have the courage to attempt and often look upon our achievements with contempt.

So, what endures at the end? When everything is weighed up, what has had dominion in our lives? The musical themes attempt to be majestic – in the way that life is.

lyrics

Stand on the outside look from within
Yesterday's gone a new day begins
The rite of spring has gone with the wind
Nothing remains
Nothing to lose
Nothing to gain.
Raise your arms
Reach for your dominion
Your heart
Your soul

Love will have dominion over each and every thing
Love will build Jerusalem
Love will have dominion

We are cast in a play by an unknown hand
Riding the wave or lost in the sands
Then we leave the stage, one by one
Alone at the end when the play is done

A step in the river, the river of change
The ripple is carried away
Resist the tide of ideology
And turn the wheels of history

To live without
To dance alone
To open your heart
And seek dominion

Love will have dominion over each and every thing
Love will build Jerusalem
Love will have dominion

Keep looking for a miracle
Suddenly there's no time to kill
One step closer to the edge looking down

Losing sight of the guiding light
Someone to lead us from wrong to right
Great is the mind that moves the hand
That writes the law that dominates man

Love will have dominion over each and every thing

When youth has flown
From the fully grown
Saving the last dance
But everyone's gone

Love will have dominion
One voice
One song
One heart
One love

Love will build Jerusalem
One voice
One song
One heart
One love
