Oh there was once a man who had lost his own smile
And he wandered the country mile after mile
Never quite knowing what he wanted to find
For his heart it lay heavy with the weight of his mind
And he looked at the land through the tears in his eyes
For he knew that there were those who would will her to die
And he wept for his mother as he lay at her feet
And he heard a voice singing him softly to sleep
I'll be your queen, I'll be your mother - I'll be your mystical child
Be your best friend, your lover - Your wife for all time
Will there ever be another, in this life of mine
Will there ever be another, like my mystical child
So he climbed a high hill and he looked out to sea
And he heard a voice calling out softly to him
Open your heart boy for it needs to be free
And the next time you're crying come running to me
So he walked through the valleys the trees and the fields
And he came to a river where she waited for him
And they looked at the water of life flowing by
And he heard a voice saying 'you're not alone in the fight

The Levellers sono una band britannica di rock alternativo con forti influenze punk e folk. Fondati a Brighton nel 1988 da Jeremy Cunningham, Charlie Heather, Jonathan Sevink e Mark Chadwick, hanno guadagnato popolarità negli anni '90 grazie al loro sound energico e alle tematiche sociali presenti nei testi. Considerati una delle band più importanti del movimento britpop, hanno collaborato con artisti come Billy Bragg e The Pogues.

L'album di debutto "A Weapon Called the Word" (1990) ha segnato l'inizio della loro ascesa, seguito da successi come "Levellers" (1992) e "Zeitgeist" (1995).
