Jon Anderson - 2000 Years Lyrics






Coupled in the perfect note
To ring you out of place
As birth can dance and sing
It's better, brighter shines this grace

Seas of golden rainbows
Spinning silently in space
As the angels in the heavens
Sing the being of His grace

Sing into the sweetest horn
As light begins the day
2000 years ago they called it
This eternal way

See into the future made
For all our kingdom comes
The joyous of the infinative
Is born this very morn

I am heartened to read all the wonderful comments here that show so many other people love Jon as I do. I'm so glad he has touched so many hearts.

  29. C.... N....

  35. C.... N....

    BEST CHRISTMAS ALBUM IN 80's

  36. Y.... ....

    The rhythms in Forest Of Fire are Awesome - Counter balanced with the soaring melody. Jon should have made it into a 20 minute track.
    (Lyrics).

    Clouds will form into the sky
    Watching them could make them disappear
    Oh, my
    What a glowing earth
    ~
    Trees can dance into the wind
    Exercise the right to believing
    In the real
    Forgiving day
    ~
    Jingle chimes the greeting nature majesty
    Of the one supreme who enlightens
    Our very being
    In this the glowing earth
    ~
    Set it up to the moon
    Set it up to the stars

    Seeking all of the world
    To the wisdom of love
    See the nature abound
    Super nature abound
    ~
    Set it up to the moon
    Set it up to the stars
    Seeking all of the world
    To the wisdom of love
    See the nature abound
    Super nature abound
    Super nature abound
    ~
    Hosanna sing
    Hosanna sing
    Hosanna sing
    Hosanna sing
    ~
    Souls can dance into the sky
    Singing them could make them all to seey
    One love, oh my
    What a shining path
    ~
    Set it up to the moon
    Set it up to the stars

    Seeking all of the world
    To the wisdom of love
    See the nature abound
    Super nature abound
    ~
    Set it up to the moon
    Set it up to the stars
    Seeking all of the world
    To the wisdom of love
    See the nature abound
    Super nature abound
    Super nature abound
    ~ . ~ . ~

  37. H.... D....

    The best Christmas album ever made! I always play it from early December, until new year. My best friend Steve and I were massive Yes fans and saw them many times. sadly he passed away three years ago. he had this on vinyl and did me a cassette! Oh Holy night, has never been done better. a peaceful Christmas to all. H. Dexter.

  38. M.... S....

    My boyfriend (now hubby) heard this on our car radio and went into a department store to buy it. It was no where. We continued to look for it that weekend on our way to his home away. We found it and where so happy! We are fanatical YES/Jon Anderson fans.

    M.... S....

    ...and Jon and Vangelis, Kitaro Dream album and...

  39. p.... s....

    It isn't Christmas until I hear Jon and Sandra Crouch sing O Holy Night...

  40. A.... e....

    Still got the album. Now listening on YouTube.
    12 october 2018. Thanks!

  41. C.... J....

    really good, praise "creation, god" can you color "creation, god"?

    then can you even fathom it? Perhaps quitting the bs about how you own God is the answer.

  42. A.... P....

    Aug 12 2018 I've started listening for this year!

  43. V.... G....

    It is a complete music and also a marvelous album

  44. T.... M....

    One of my favorite Christmas albums. Thank you so much Jon.

  45. P.... L....

    This is my kind of christmas music! Just love it!

  46. M.... H....

    Healing voice, healing instrumentation. Love them.

  47. D.... S....

    Always loved this Album!!!

    D.... S....

    Since '85!

  48. j.... ....

    My daughters grew up with this fabulous Holiday music. About a year ago, one of them called me to how to find this music and here it was on YouTube! Thank you for bringing back some amazing memories!!!!!

  49. R.... S....

    His bandmate Chris Squire has a Christmas album (Chris Squire's Swiss Choir). Worth listening to because of the Gospel message. Sadly Chris passed away a couple of years ago from leukemia. But he is with the Lord.

  50. T.... D....

    My all time favorite Christmas album! From an all time great. Thanks Jon.

  51. A.... ....

    Bujor Voinea, thanks for posting this - it's one of my favorite Christmas albums! Didn't know it was out on CD, I gave up looking years ago. After my cassette tape gave up the ghost and I couldn't find it anywhere I eventually stopped searching. Gonna go look for it now, maybe it's even downloadable. Merry Christmas!!!

  52. r.... p....

    thanks for this music from Jon. Wonderful.

  53. T.... B....

    Wonderful album! Thanx a lot for the upload!

  54. T.... ....

    Merry Christmas!

  55. K.... P....

    Thank you for putting this on youtube, this album is not on iTunes in any form! Just a few songs from this album, maybe.

    K.... P....

    Well, rats. I thought I might finally get a full (legal) copy. Still on the hunt, meanwhile, this will more than do. Merry Christmas!

  56. P.... R....

    Our family’s been enjoying this album every year for over 30 years! Festive joy!

    P.... R....

    I've always been amazed that this album never made it into the ranks of classic Christmas recordings. I've loved it for over 30 years as well, and it never seems dated or old-fashioned.

  57. T.... B....

    I don't own the rights or anything, but I have the MP3's of this album if anyone is interested. You can hit me up on my YT channel (not promoting anything and it's not an attempt to get anything from you). It's my favorite Xmas album as well and I listen to it every year and can't get enough. Merry Christmas!

    T.... B....

    Tim, can't find a way to contact you after clicking your page but I'd love the mp3s. I have the cassette but no way to transfer to digital (plus I'm guessing it wouldn't sound great even if I did)

    T.... B....

    Hi! Sorry I didn't see this right away my apologies. Email me at [email protected] and I'll send you a dropbox link!

    T.... B....

    Thanks - email sent

    T.... B....

    I sent it to you let me know that you got it. Might have went to spam folder (been having some domain issues from my business website). Thanks!

    T.... B....

    My email has changed if you want the mp3’s this holiday season email me at [email protected] Merry Christmas!!

  58. J.... G....

    Great album; remember buying it on vinyl in Edinburgh's Princes Street way back in December 85. It sounds as good now as it did then. Thanks Jon.

  59. C.... ....

    Next to the movie 'Snowman', hot chocolate, snow, a blanket and a Christmastree, this makes Christmas complete.

  60. S.... C....

    Dang, wish this was on spotify

  61. m.... ....

    I feel like I'm listening to a new Yes album

  62. C.... M....

    Oh, this enchanted voice, this enchanting voice...

    C.... M....

    Rings like a bell, doesn't it? Jon Anderson, Geddy Lee, one or two others I can't think of offhand right now (too much Christmas cheer, maybe), only a few voices I've heard in my lifetime ring like this.

  63. B.... ....

    One of the best Christmas albums ever made. The original material is top-notch and the traditional songs are done beautifully. It feels so 80's, but it's also timeless. It's sad to see how some people totally dismiss this album.

  64. M.... K....

    I lost this album too😢 and can not find it on Spotify.

  65. E.... M....

    Beautiful! Crystal! clear music! Thanks! Merry Christmas!

  66. C.... B....

    Im so elated that i could find this. My dad always woke us up with this music. A tradition id love to continue. ^.^

    C.... B....

    The album we play while opening presents since I first got it upon its release.

  67. J.... ....

    Thank you for this, and Happy Holidays!

    J.... ....

    Why Happy Holidays - just Merry Christmas. Even if one is atheist, Buddhist, Judaist or Muslim can you use this expression as a tradition. Sounds great

  68. m.... ....

    My late husband had this album on cassette tape. He played it in the car constantly during the holidays. It's long gone and I'd have no way to play it anyway. Hearing it now is bringing back many memories. Thank you.

    m.... ....

    Mary Sue Hunt so happy for you

    m.... ....

    You can buy it on cd or vinyl(maybe)if you want.

  69. a.... ....

    mom had a cassette of this a long time ago. thanks for posting this we love it

  70. D.... S....

    Greetings:

    Thank you for posting this, Bujor.

    I simply love this album by Jon and Vangelis!

    I won the cassette version (with a back up tape, as well). I had the album, but it got destroyed.

    I miss Jon making music with Vangelis. Fellas: it is time to put all your differences behind you. Letting go - oh how it hits you, the power of Love will always connect you! So, come on fellas, we need your further collaborations!

    A peaceful, Merry Christmas to all.

    Rock on, kids,
    Dr. Of Style
    (Dennis)

  71. G.... O....

    An all time great for me. Really lifts my spirits around Christmas.

    G.... O....

    You are not wrong young man. SUPERB. Happy Christmas to you and yours

    G.... O....

    Found the Jon Anderson 3 Ships album and the newest Jon Anderson CD at Cheapo's record in Blaine,Mn for a total of $21.00. A very Merry Christmas Indeed . Not bad for a 62 year old YES fan.

  72. D.... W....

    I bought this when it first came out on cassette, that was before cds..

    D.... W....

    Haha, me too, and as cassette tapes will, it eventually ate itself and I have been looking for it ever since. Found various songs from it on youtube, but never the whole compilation as one post. Many happy memories of Christmases past, and now more to come. Merry Christmas!

  73. D.... R....

    It's a library CD..and it still plays!

    D.... R....

    It's a Chrismas miracle! ; )

  74. V.... ....

    A friend of mine introduced me to this album in 1989 when it was on vinyl.

  75. C.... M....

    gloria hosanna in excelsis

  76. S.... M....

    this was always my Christmas album growing up thank you 💗💗💗💗💗

  77. A.... M....

    So how did the call go?

  82. D.... L....

    I love this album! I have it on both LP and CD. Beautiful celebration of the majesty and joy of the Lord, celebrating both His birth and our spiritual joy in Christ. Thank you Jon!

    D.... L....

    +Dejael Long Likewise - I had/have the tape of this somewhere, but it's nice to find it in a pristine (not half erased) state. Loved this album.

  83. A.... ....

    One of my all-time favorite Christmas albums.  I searched for some Christmas music to listen to here on YouTube while addressing Christmas cards and came across this.  THANK YOU for posting!

  84. T.... P....

    My gratitude Sir Voinea. I am moslem but I like this album very much. My neighbor, he is moslem too, began to love Jon since the day he borrowed YES album 90125 from me, back to the end 1985. Then he bought '3 ships album' and it become second album (after the 90125) of which I like all songs therein. Last December I planned to give my Christian friend this album as a Xmas gift  but I could not find the CD in Jakarta store. Greetings from Indonesia.

    T.... P....

    Very Nice . Jon Is the best . And your VoiceOver

    T.... P....

    Jon is the best

    T.... P....

    Thank you for your sentiments. We all serve the same higher power. Your gesture of wanting to give this to a Christian friend is a sign of the love we need to show among ourselves. That higher power, God, or whatever you choose to call him, is Love.

  85. a.... v....

    qué disco tan lindo!, Gracias!

  86. P.... R....

    One of my favorite xmas albums, lost it years ago while moving somewhere.  Thank you Bujor Voinea!!  Merry Christmas!

    P.... R....

  87. A.... S....

    As a midwife student I've done my first delivery on Christmas Eve 1985. I got some money from the happy father because it was my first and I bought this album. Ever since indispensable at Christmastime.
    A toast to all new born babies this Christmas!

    A.... S....

    What a great and heartwarming story! Thanks for sharing that! And here's to life!

  88. R.... M....

    All-time Best Christmas Album in the history of music!

    R.... M....

    Yes in did

    R.... M....

    I enthusiastically agree!

    R.... M....

    Absolutely agree. It's not Christmas without this album. (And then John Denver's Rocky Mountain Christmas.)

    R.... M....

    Even this rabid Atheist sees the beauty of this masterpiece.

  89. M.... ....

  96. G.... T....

    Jon's ethereal voice made this album my favorite. So much so that this is the only Christmas album I ever regularly played off-season.

    G.... T....

    George Theofanous me also

    G.... T....

    So do I

  97. S.... B....

    This album set me on a road out of darkness and alcoholism to Christ and freedom in the early 90's.
