| Song | Closer To Believing |
| Artist | Greg Lake |
| Album | Works: Volume 1 |
| 作词 : Lake, Sinfield | |
| I am closer to believing | |
| Than I ever was before | |
| On the crest of this elation | |
| Must I crash upon the shore | |
| And with the driftwood of acquaintance | |
| Light the fire to love once more | |
| I am wind blown... | |
| I am times. | |
| To be closer to believing | |
| To be just a breath away | |
| On the death of inspiration | |
| I would buy back yesterday | |
| But there's no crueller illusion | |
| There's no sharper coin to pay | |
| As I reach out... | |
| It slips away | |
| From the opium of custom to the ledges of extremes | |
| Don't believe it till you've held it | |
| Life is seldom what it seems | |
| But lay your heart upon the table | |
| And in the shuffling of dreams | |
| Remember who on earth you are | |
| I need me | |
| You need you | |
| We want us | |
| But of course you know | |
| I love you | |
| Or what else am | |
| I here for | |
| Only you not face to face | |
| But side by side for evermore | |
| And I need to be here with you | |
| For without you what am | |
| I Just another fool out searching | |
| For some heaven in the sky | |
| Take me closer to believing | |
| Take me forward lead me on | |
| Through collision and confusion | |
| While there's life beneath the sun | |
| You are the reason | |
| I continue | |
| So near for so long | |
| So close yet so far away | |
| I need me | |
| You need you | |
| We want us to live forever | |
| Don't let the curtain fall | |
| Measure after measure | |
| Of writing on the wall | |
| That burns so brightly | |
| It blinds us all | |
| I need me | |
| You need you | |
| We want us to be together | |
| On Sundays in the rain | |
| Closer than forever | |
| Against or with the grain | |
| To ride the storms of love again | |
| So be closer to believing | |
| Though your world is torn apart | |
| For a moment changes all things | |
| And to end is but to start | |
| And if your journey's unrewarded | |
| May your God lift up your heart | |
| You are windblown | |
| But you are mine |
