| wow, i'm the first to comment of this song? i think this song is about living in a balanced way, despite living in a self-destructive world. the main point is- the time is now and the word is love. | |

| I absolutely love this song. No doubt one of my favorite yes songs. You may be right, last days, but i happen to think it's about having a meaning to your life and not just living a boring, every-day-the-same life, hence the line "spread the news and help the world go 'round." I also think they are relating to wanting better things to happen, and to be able to get things together in your life. Tell me what you think. That's just my opinion. | |
