In The Presence Of Lyrics
Artist(Band):Yes
Anderson/Howe/Squire/White
September 11, 2001
Deeper than every ocean
Deeper than every river
That’s what your presence brings to me
Revealing the words I listen
Seeing you in my silence
Learning I’m with you constantly
As I was before
If we were flowers
We would worship the sun
So why not now?
This high is shining brightly
Brighter than before
As the door was open wide
There inside was a diamond chair
Where I sat when I was young
I wrote down the words
Only when the young at heart
Can enter the real world
This chance I’ve waited for
For you to see
If I had chances I would spend them with you
To hold you close and let your love surround me
Deeper than before
(Deeper than every ocean)
And I know this love is real
(Deeper than every river)
Realize this is meant to be
That’s what your eyes they say to me
You are listening to how I feel
So expectedly
(Brighter than every morning)
From the ocean to the sky
(Beautiful as the sunset)
Every river to the sea
Nature surrounds me constantly
We can hear love constantly
This is for you and me
Turn around and come deeper now
So what happens when I touch you there
You feel the words roll over you
Thinking of the better scenes
The memories
As everybody else just
Hasn’t got the time
To help you anymore
’Cause if the reason for
The things that pleasure us
To please ourselves
Not pressure us
To give our ego
Some pleasure time
Can you imagine
Any reason
To know you’re only fooling yourself
And then you’ll understand why
You’ll understand why
So if we choose to realize
All existence is a dream
This perfect resume to you
From me
Just had a tough time with magic
The death of ego
The moon
It was just coming through
Send me such a good time
In a letter form, tell me
The pleasure, no pressure
Pure imagination in a metaphoric dream
I get amazed like a true beginner
I get amazed like a true believer
I get amazed when I see you there
And I come alive
I believe I’m a true beginner
I believe I’m a true beginner
In your arms I can see it all
I can see it all
If we were flowers
We would worship the sun
So why not now?
This light is burning brightly
This light is burning brightly
Brighter than before
Brighter than before
Brighter than before
Brighter than before
Turn around and remember that
When it gets so low
As you finally hit the ground
Turn around and remember that
Now I’m standing tall
Standing on my sacred ground
Turn around and remember that
When it gets so low
As you finally hit the ground
Turn around and remember that
Now you’re standing tall
Standing on sacred ground
Standing on sacred ground
Standing on sacred ground

Review about In The Presence Of
Not about 9/11 | Reviewer: cyberian khatru | 4/16/2007Everywhere I see the lyrics for this song, it has a reference at the beginning to 9/11. This song, while full of foreshadowing and almost a dead bullseye to the events and feelings of 9/11, was written in 2000 and released BEFORE 9/11 in 2001. I heard the song live in Portsmouth Va on 8/19/01. It was tremendous and made me think of my hometown and growing up there (a small town 60 miles south of the venue).
Anyway, a great song and wonderful lyrics...but not about 9/11.

Wow | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/20/2006
It's really amazing when a band can produce incredible stuff early on, and still 30+ years later still surprise you. Yes did that with Magnification, and it was summed up beautifully with In the Presence Of. This song ranks up there with classics like And You and I, Heart of the Sunrise, and even Close to the Edge. I couldn't believe how well the orchestra seemed to merge with the classic Yes sound and to me it was almost like a swirling feeling. To all Troopers who think modern Yes is nowhere near the music of the 70's, put aside your biases and listen to this song. You won't be sorry.

In the presence of... Yes at their best | Reviewer: Alan Starkie | 8/30/2005
After following Yes since the early 70's during their meteoric rise, songs of beauty & mystery were followed by a more conventional watered down rock style during the 80's & 90's. I discovered this song almost by accident - as soon as I heard it I was hooked. Back again are those magical lyrics by Jon Anderson, the wonderful melodies from the old days - if you hark for the old days listen to this song...
