Just a boy I wandered through these doors
I found mystery and wonder on each floor
The eyes behind the glass
Watched me as I pass
On days like this I am that child once more
Where the present and the past make connection
Time and space turn in my direction
And I am five years old again
Come to shelter from the rain
In a home to a million thoughts
And a thousand reflections
Two young lovers drift in from the street
There’s not many secret places they can meet
Saw the prey the hunter caught
These memories can’t be bought
Their song of love and life is now complete
And the present and the past will make connection
Time and space will turn in their direction
With my first love hand in hand
In these shadows we still stand
In a home to a million thoughts
And a thousand reflections
The silver coins, the shards of bone lie beneath these streets
They are the witness and the record of this place
The churches halls the home the wall – the outline incomplete
They wait for us to enter and to trace
A mother lifts her son towards the light
And it sets the myriad sparkling wings to flight
Into the fabric of these walls
Their voices in the hall
Will pin their hidden secret dreams tonight
And the present and the past will make connection
Time and space turn in their direction
In every frame on every shelf
We look close to see ourselves
In a home to a million thoughts
And a thousand reflections
The road that led to Rome
Will always bring us home
With a million thoughts
And a thousand reflections
