Reasons to smile, after a while in our own world
Hidden from things, somewhere within no one's disturbed
Move things aside, innocent age trapped in a cage
Each step taken seems to retrace
Ancestor's footsteps to this unknown place
Bring me that sacred song in the dawn
We can belong in our own unknown world
Confined by a thought, it dims to a glow it falls well below
Needing the joy that nothingness brings needing that joy
Pure light, pure self feeding your health when nothingness gives
Each step taken seems to retrace
Ancestor's footsteps to this unknown place
I live these four walls, beneath the ceiling and floor
I think the plants and the flowers through an open door
Not ever knowing what's written in stone
Take only what is really your own
Happiness tolling bells resounds
Towards a place where peace gently abounds

Yes è un gruppo musicale britannico formatosi a Londra nel 1968. Considerati uno dei pilastri del rock progressivo, hanno raggiunto fama internazionale negli anni '70 con album come *Fragile*, *Close to the Edge* e *Going for the One*. Il loro sound si caratterizza per la complessità musicale, l'uso di strumenti orchestrali, le melodie avvolgenti e i testi spesso filosofici. Tra i membri fondatori figuravano Jon Anderson (voce), Chris Squire (basso), Peter Banks (chitarra) e Bill Bruford (batteria). Nel corso degli anni, la formazione ha subito diverse variazioni, con l'ingresso di musicisti come Steve Howe (chitarra), Rick Wakeman (tastiere) e Alan White (batteria). Yes hanno venduto oltre 30 milioni di dischi in tutto il mondo e sono stati inseriti nella Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nel 2017. Alcuni dei loro brani più rappresentativi includono *Roundabout*, *Owner of a Lonely Heart* e *Starship Trooper*.
