To Be Over Lyrics

Artist: Yes
Album: Relayer

We go sailing down the calming streams
Drifting endlessly by the bridge
To be over
We will see
To be over

Do not suffer through the game of chance that plays
Always doors to lock away your dreams
Think it over
Time will heal your fear
Think it over
Balance the thoughts that release within you

Childlike soul dreamer one journey
One to seek and see in ev'ry light do open
True pathways away

Carrying closer go gently
Holding doors will open everyway
You wander true pathways away

After all your soul will still surrender
After all don't doubt your part
Be ready to be loved

Comments/Interpretations
by Leigh on 6/6/2008 7:48am You have to listen to the ENTIRE album, to truly appreciate the tone this song holds. On its own, it's a nice song, sure--but without the rest of the album, it can't be fully enjoyed. The rest of this incredible album is, in no more perfect a term, "frantic" and the juxtaposition of this calm, gentle and nothing-less-than sweet song reflects the mastery of the band, and this album in particular, in its truest light. LISTEN to this album all the way through, without stopping. It may be the most amazing thing that Yes has ever done.
by Bob on 6/8/2008 10:23pm I agree with Leigh 100%. The frenetic pace of the other 2 songs on this album set this change-of-pace piece on its very own ethereal pedestal. It was no fluke that Relayer was Yes' best selling album until 90125 came along.
by Renato Kermentz on 6/23/2008 7:16pm I think Leigh defined the song very well, although for non-initiated Yes fans this track can still be appreciated as a "single". Relayer is my favorite Yes album, though to be honest I find it very hard to choose only one - the "old" Yes is so perfect and amazing that I just can't have enough ... Cheers from Brazil!
by Old New Orleanian on 7/22/2008 6:32pm It's true that Relayer is best heard as an entire auditory journey, but each song is also enjoyable as an independent microcosm. Interestingly, within "To Be Over" there are some bits of Howe's guitar work in the middle which approach being "frantic" (great description, by the way, Leigh), like an echo of the other two songs in the album. Come to think of it, Relayer is chock full of echoes and reverberations... no wonder it makes you feel like you're being drawn into another world. Yes are master craftsmen of sound.
by porfle on 8/10/2008 12:20am Great comments so far. I listened to this song for decades, paying attention to the music rather than the words, before I discovered that it was about that the soul takes after the body dies. The very next time I listened to it, I actually cried--the first time a song has ever had that effect on me.
by Tipografo on 10/13/2008 3:52pm totally agree with Leigh. Only by listening the entire album you can feel the real meaning of this awesome song. Progressive, melodic, it's quite easy to follow the path they wanted us to do. a daydream
by Avsjunkie on 12/19/2008 9:50am The Relayer album is my favorite Yes album, and the "unplugged" version of this song is amazing.
by Trick on 1/7/2009 12:34am I agree with hearing the whole album. I always thought this song was about suicide. The think it over line always grabbed me.
by Dreadneck on 3/26/2009 9:08pm The older I get, the fewer rock bands I still appreciate. Yes just gets better and better. They're sonic poets. Anderson, White, Howe, Squire, and Wakeman's son were set to play Atlanta last August...but Jon got sick. One more tour, please!
by Keith on 3/27/2009 4:30pm Someone asked Jon Anderson what they were singing during the fade out, and he said he couldn't remember what it was. I have always wanted to know what that wonderful fading chant was... "Some to live it, some to love it, some to give it to some..."?
by Soundchaser on 5/11/2009 9:01pm I was doing a search for the lyrics on this song because I was wondering what they were singing on the fade out, seems there all printed the same as on my vinyl sleeve.... Keith, that sounds like part of it, but seems like there another verse?
by 90125 on 7/18/2009 10:23pm If you can, pick up a copy of "Jon Anderson -Sheffield 1980" He and his band do this song (excerpt)in an incredible new arrangement. And many other Yessongs. It's very beautiful. It start Jon a capella "Childlike soul dreamer...)
