Klaatu - Hope (lyrics on clip), preceded by the Epilogue of So said the lighthousekeeper video free download

'delightful slideshow' praised Klaatu-The Band itself on Facebook about

Klaatu - So said the lighthouse keeper & Hope (with lyrics on screen);

you can watch it at http://youtu.be/c1k6F73z4bQ, but this is the second part of that clip

Hope

artist: Klaatu

album: Hope (1977)

So Said the Lighthouse Keeper + Hope are the last to songs on the concept album 'Hope', Klaatu's second album. On the inner sleeve of the lp the lyrics to So Said the Lighthouse Keeper are followed by an Epilogue that I included in the slideshow. I perceive it as the bridge that binds these two tracks together. Also, the lyrics to Epilogue belong to a track that didn't make it to the album Hope, but was eventually published on Sun Set (2005)

Klaatu was for years speculated and rumoured to be a secret Beatles-reunion

but they are:

John Woloschuk : vocals - bass - guitar - keyboards

Terry Draper : vocals - drums - guitar - keyboards - slide trombone

Dee Long : vocals - guitar - keyboards

Klaatu was formed in 1973 in Toronto, Canada

Lyrics:

Hope

(John Woloschuk)

Hope is like a lighthouse keeper's beam

Hope, the master cobbler of our dreams

For Hope believes in desert streams

The mightiest of stars

The microcosm in a jar

Vast or small, they all revolve on Hope

Hope the guardian angel of the dove

Hope a gift of guidance from above

For Hope is the heart in mother's love

No plans could be conceived

No ships could fare the seas

For there would be no courage were it not for Hope

Now the path before us lies before our very eyes

Don't you see

And it leads up to the gateway

Lead me through

Don't you see

Then come and take my hand

Raise up your head

And dry your eyes

For up ahead I see

Woh woh yeah

A ray of peace

A-shining on me

So let us feel Hope

And feel the sunrise in our minds

To give Hope is to enlighten all mankind

Ah but lose Hope and life seems black as blind

When faith gives way to fear

When motivation disappears

All is lost if one abandons Hope

All is lost

If one abandons Hope
