Saw a sign on the path
'All seekers this way'
A fairy sat and laughed
And threw a petal my way
As I neared the bridge
Two soldiers stood and stared,
"No one passes by us, but, hey!
You're welcome here."
Carried on down the road
To the marketplace
I was still alone
No one knew my face
Then a stranger sang
With voice like the wind
Then the hills began, to sing,
"Welcome in."
Time rolls on, ain't no good to sit and moan
Time rolls on, and so we travel on
Never did I imagine
What a dawn could be
Till I opened my eyes, to see
It was welcoming me
At the end of my days
On my way home
I paused a while to gaze
Upon the Sacred Stone
There it stood in the middle
Of the Holy Domain
Then the people came out to say,
"Welcome home, again!"
Time rolls on, and so we carry on
Time rolls on, ain't no good to sit and moan
Time rolls on, and so we travel on
Time rolls on, ain't no good to sit alone

Steven Demetre Georgiou, noto al mondo come Cat Stevens e successivamente Yusuf Islam, è un cantautore britannico nato a Londra nel 1948. Iniziò la sua carriera musicale negli anni '60 con un sound folk-rock che lo portò al successo internazionale. I suoi album "Tea for the Tillerman" (1970) e "Catch Bull at Four" (1972) sono considerati capolavori del genere, caratterizzati da testi poetici e melodie memorabili. Nel 1977, abbracciò l'Islam e cambiò il suo nome in Yusuf Islam, dedicandosi alla musica religiosa e all'attività filantropica. Negli anni '80 e '90 ha continuato a pubblicare album di musica islamica, ma nel 2006 ha ripreso la sua carriera musicale con un nuovo album, "An Other Cup", che ha riscosso successo internazionale. Tra i suoi brani più famosi ricordiamo "Wild World", "Father and Son" e "Peace Train".
