C                      G
One day in the year of the fox
            Dm                  Am
Came a time remembered well
               F
When the strong young man
               G
Of the rising sun heard the
Am
Tolling of the great black bell

C                     G
One day in the year of the fox when the
E                 Am
Bell began to ring, it meant the
F                                 G
Time had come for the one to go to the
Am
Temple of the King

Dm
There in the middle of the circle, he stands
Am
Searching, Seeking,
G
With just one touch of his trembling hand
Am
The answer will be found

Dm
Daylight waits while the old man sings
Am
Heaven, help me,
G                           Dm
Just like a rush of thousand wings
E
It shines upon the One

And the day has just begun

One day in the year of the fox
               Dm                   Am
Came a time remembered well

When the strong young man
                   G
Of the rising sun heard the

Tolling of the great black bell

One day in the year of the fox when the

He's gone, to the

Temple of the King

Far from the circle of the edge of the world

He's hoping, wondering

Thinking back of the stories he's heard

what he's going to see
Dm
There in the middle of the circle he lies

Heaven, help me

All could see by the shine in his eyes

The answer has been found

Back with the people in the circle he stands

Of the Temple and the King
