This would be the last album Neal Morse would create with Spock's Beard,leaving the band after recording to start his highly successful solo career.There are so many great Spock's beard songs, but if I had to choose something as "the best they've done", this by far as a whole out weighs anything in their catalog.A 2 disc concept album about the struggles of a somewhat shy albino child ,some would call autistic at times,who just couldn't fit in and his path through life.A captivating and emotional story not to be missed by anyone with a heart so here it is!

SNOW
Just the Story
Some things happen for a reason. Some things happen by chance, but, chances are there's a reason for that too. Take for example the boy that was born John Sikeston who became the famous (or infamous depending on who you are) SNOW. People call him that because he has a slight Albino appearance and I believe it was his little sister who coined the nickname to torment him. But, as fate would have it, this little piece of torture stuck for life.
He was born in some nameless place in the midwest of America by hard working parents who were faithful church goers in the traditional sense. Which means it didn't really affect their hearts so much as was just one more thing they had to do, like going to work on Monday morning. Perhaps this accounts for Snow's unorthodox religious tendencies. Perhaps not.
So, he was raised by a working man in a working man's land. The only problem was he didn't blend. In a place where everyone was supposed to blend, he stood out like the only cloud in a cloudless sky. Poetic, isn't it? Well, he didn't feel very poetic. He felt uncom- fortable most of his childhood. Then, when he realized he had a special kind of a gift for seeing into peoples lives, he felt even MORE uncomfortable. And somehow he knew it would be frowned upon. Like how children automatically know that lying and other nasty things are wrong. He just knew. So he kept it a secret until he was a teenager. What a horrible thing to hide.
Well, we don't have all day, do we? So, I'll get on with it. At some point in his teenage years our hero had a spiritual experience (which shall be left to your own imagination) and left home for New York City. Where else? Isn't that where they all go? Another kid from Iowa or some place wandering around trying to find his way. This was in the days when it was a pretty smutty place. I understand they've cleaned it up now. Anyway, so there's this Albino kid walking around all goo-goo eyed, checking everything out with full childish innocence when this ugly black kid comes up to him and starts hassling him about coming into a strip joint. He seems to be enjoying himself as he's taunting the kid when the kid grabs his arm and something happens.
'You ain't no flea... look at you now... look at you now flea...'. The man says looking over the dead body. The body was beaten up so bad it was an IT. Unrecognizable. Then the man and his partner leave and there's a terrible silence. He's alone with IT. 'I'll never come out... I'll never come out... that's what I'll do... I ain't never comin' out'. The ugly black kid (who we'll call the Harlem Knight) stood there on the street repeating that for while when something else happened. He felt a kind of rushing love come over him. All in the same moment! You see, that was the kid's Dad whom he watched get beat to death on the living room floor of their Brooklyn apartment 15 years ago. Somehow through his touching this white haired freak boy, the nightmare that he'd been trying to out run all his life, now felt like it was... gone. No, not gone, but powerless. It's hard to describe these things. After that things move pretty quickly. Snow and the Knight start converting and healing other bad off people in the city. Junkies and whores and the like. Soon he has a street mission. He holds meetings in parks and wherever he can. His following grows at an astounding rate.
Now he's a big deal. He and the Knight create an organization called 'The Touch That Heals' organization or THO for short. Things go along all right for a while and then his ego begins to attack him. Right about the same time he falls for a girl who hates his guts. The irony of this guy who can see so much about people's lives and yet has no clue what's going on with the girl he loves does not escape many. When he touches her he sees his own downfall. He sees himself on the street, drunk, strung out and near death. This sends him over the edge. He spirals down, winds up homeless himself and the vision becomes true.
Then in the end his friends come and lift him up, bring him to a hospital and back to life. There's a lot more to it but we can't go into right now. Suffice to say, he winds up coming back to them and being renewed in the same way he renewed them. They walk off into the sunset leaving plenty of room for the sequel. That's the gist of it but there's more. We'll leave the rest to you...
LYRICS
DISC 1
01. Made Alive / Overture
NARRATOR:
From a world that's never ending
From a sky beyond the skies
A child is born
And love is made alive
Like a flaw that seeks perfection
With a will that will survive
A child is born
And love is made alive
Overture
INSTRUMENTAL
02. Stranger In A Strange Land
NARRATOR:
Behold the boy - The stranger, the working man's son
With skin like white lightning
And eyes like two shots from a gun
They'll teach him to pray and work everyday
He'll learn how to sweat in the sun
But God has a place - A place for him in His plan
He won't be like his old man
He won't be made to crawl
His folks named him John
But everyone else called him Snow
With flesh bright as Sunday
And a face full of something unknown
Shunned as he grew, he finally withdrew
Asleep in a world all his own
Then he awoke like a child in the Promised Land
With barely the strength to stand
And tears in his eyes
He's a stranger in a strange land from a world far away
Like a savior in the wasteland with a high price to pay
He's a stranger in a strange land
And he can't find his way home
At seventeen years old he awoke from his world of gray
(He awoke to a time gone away)
With a gift ever-reaching and a calling he had to obey
(They watched as he left home one day)
They all looked on
While the prodigal son
Left the home of his father that day
Hit New York City with just the shirt on his back
With a tape deck and battery pack
And no turning back...
He's a stranger in a strange land from a world far away
Like a savior in the wasteland with a high price to pay
He's a stranger in a strange land
Stranger in a strange land
03. Long Time Suffering
SNOW:
I never saw such a place in all my life
This is tomorrow's song
I think I've waited too long
Can't seem to see through the scraping of the sky
And now it seems so wrong
To think I spent such a...
Long time suffering and crying to the sky
Long time suffering and never knowing why
I have a gift that can see beyond the years
The touch so refined
I have transcended all time
My heart can reach through the secret well of tears
And when they all come out
Won't have to spend such a...
Long time suffering and crying to the sky
Long time suffering and never knowing why
The child awakening to a city in the sky
Spent such a long time suffering and never knowing why
I may be only seventeen but I see things
Look at the woman who's head keeps hangin' down
I cannot feel her hate I feel her needing
Some how I feel like I cannot let her down
I never saw such a place in all my life
This is tomorrow's song, I waited much too long
The change can come in a twinkling of an eye
The slave running free; the salmon floating downstream
The change can come in a twinkling of an eye
The slave running free, so why'd we spend such a
Long time suffering and crying to the sky
Long time suffering and never knowing why
The child awakening to a city in the sky
Spent such a long time suffering...
The change can come in a twinkling of an eye...
04. Welcome To NYC
THE KNIGHT:
Hey, hey, hey - Welcome to New York City
We got the hottest girls and they'll do anything you want
Hey there whitey, so white you're kinda pretty
Why don't you come on in, depending on how much cash you got
I LIKE IT!
Look, boy, where you from?
I love ya now - Walk boy don't you run
It's hotter than the sun, walk, boy don't you run
You better get a gun, where you from Ohio or somethin'?
Don't you gimme the eye or my friends just might stop by
We'll have ourselves a time, you won't look so happy about it
I LIKE IT!
You better find your Mama to protect you now
You look like the wind might blow you down
I LIKE IT!
Don't touch me now
You better find your Mama to protect you now
She'll protect you now - She'll protect you now
She'll protect you now - Don't touch me now...
05. Love Beyond Words
SNOW:
I see a boy who watched his father
Be beat to death right on the living room floor
As he watched through the door - You watched through the door
Now you're a young man filled with anger
You know your life on earth could mean so much more
Don't you know what it's for, I think you know what it's for
To love beyond words - (Love beyond all words) - Love beyond words
THE KNIGHT:
Now I somehow have understanding
Like I've never had before in my life
Do you know what that's like, I think you know what it's like
To love beyond words - (Love beyond all words) - Love beyond words
To love beyond words - (Love beyond all words) - Love beyond words
To love beyond words - (Love beyond all words) - Love beyond words
06. The 39th Street Blues (I'm Sick)
THE PROSTITUTE:
Hey Snow White and the Harlem Knight
You make a perfect pair
Skin and bones and a hatchet faced homes
Hey, what you doin' 'round here
Why don't you go back to Central Park
Or stick around and see why love is art
In my sin I've sunk right in
I finally understood
Why all the geeks and the Catholic Priests
They love to do us good
Maybe you would like some at my cost?
Or maybe you and the white shadow should go get lost
'Cause I'm sick of pity and morphine
I'm sick of you runnin' me down
I'm sick but maybe there's something
That can still save me from the depths of this town
One more time I'll speak my mind
And then you'd better go
Before Sad Sam and the backdoor man
Make me wish I'd just said no
I might come to your meeting in the park
But now I've got to work it's getting dark
'Cause I'm sick of pity and morphine
I'm sick of you runnin' me down
I'm sick but maybe there's something
That can still save me - That can still save me
SNOW:
Come you worn out weak and tired
To this meeting in the dark of the night
And you'll walk in the light
Yes, you'll walk in the light
If you're addicted and afflicted
My name is Snow and I've the gift and the sight
And we'll make it alright
Yes, we'll make it alright
07. Devil's Got My Throat
THE ADDICT:
Richy Rich got high on the high life
Ron the rage it raged into my life
The Dow Jones it took on new meaning
I'd pick my feet before every high-powered country club meeting
The Devil's got my throat
I'm goin' down that's all she wrote
The Devil's got my throat
I'm goin' down that's all she wrote
Oh my God! Look what's become of me!
My best friends a spider
My girlfriends a cardboard cut-out I stole from Circuit City
The Devil's got my throat
I'm goin' down that's all she wrote
The Devil's got my throat
I'm goin' down that's all she wrote
Moving forward in my mind
Moving forward in my mind
Alright that was fun now let's hit the skyline
I don't know what he's got but I know it ain't mine
The devil's got my throat
I'm goin' down that's all she wrote
I'm your cruel joke
I'm goin' down that's all she wrote
The devil's got my throat
I'm goin' down that's all she wrote
STREET PEOPLE:
We've heard this same kind of thing a million times
But this kid's a freak; the weirdest one this week
I hear that he has a gift well we shall see
The Albino Saint; I bet a jolt he ain't
I'm gonna go just to check the geek boy out
I hope it's not too long; I guess we can't go wrong
Who wants to go meet me in the park tonight
I hope it's not too long; I guess we can't go wrong
Who wants to go meet me in the park tonight...
08. Open Wide The Flood Gates
SNOW:
Red forest green
As you stand at the waterfall
And there's no in between
You go back or you trust the fall
And the man says that'll be forty-five
And the best of your mind's crying 'take the dive'
Open wide the flood gates
And let love take your soul
Open wide the flood gates
'Til there's so much you overflow
Out of the blue
And into uncertainty
And since you are a child
You just want some kind of security
But the desert will always be hot and dry
Until the cool water comes rushing by
Open wide the flood gates
And let love fill your soul
Open wide the flood gates
'Til there's so much you overflow
Open wide the flood gates
Sprinkle this soul around
Open wide the flood gates
You spent your life running away
You run but you're not far away
Open wide the flood gates
And let love take your soul
Open wide the flood gates
'Til there's so much you overflow
Open wide the flood gates
Sprinkle this soul around
Open wide the flood gates
Let this Love come down
Open wide the flood gates
SNOW:
Open wide the flood gates - And let love move your soul
Open wide the flood gates - 'Til there's so much you overflow
Open wide the flood gates - Let it wash away the past
Open wide the flood gates - Man, you'll feel you're home at last
Open wide the flood gates - Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
09. Open The Gates - Part 2
SNOW AND COMPANY:
Open up the flood gates in your mind that you might be set free
Open up the windows left behind and stand in what could be
When something shifts the bulb will light and you may understand
Something beyond your sense of sight far from the world of man
(Glass is all breaking - Everything's changing NOW)
Open up the window feel the calm of the first cool breeze
Feel how the wind blows you can see the forest through the trees
When you flip the switch you may deny what you once held as true
All will be revealed; seek and you'll find that you can
Open up the flood line - we got separated by time
Lifting up the gate now - we got separated somehow
Let's come together now
Open up the flood gates and believe that all will come to pass
Release the dream and let your woodwinds be all turned to brass
When something shifts you may belie your former way of life
Don't you want to be out of your mind; come on and
Open up the flood line - we got separated by time
Lifting up the gate now - we got separated somehow
Let's come together now
Go before the gafe goes down when you hear the calling sound (I will go)
You will not be turned away bring your weakness with your strength (I will go)
Where the river meets the sea - Where the sky is holding me (I will go)
Love will be your ministry - Let it fly when you open up the flood line
10. Solitary Soul
THE HOMELESS:
I've been here since long ago waiting for the end
I don't need to have a home but I could use a friend
So many people they don't give a damn
They look away when they see what I am
I've been like half a man but I could be whole
Won't you befriend this solitary soul
Got a lot of breezes left to blow
Where I'm going I don't know
Got a lot of heartache got a show
What it's like you'll never know
To be the solitary soul
I've been here since long ago buried in my tears
Feels like I've walked alone for a thousand years
So many people they don't give a damn
They look away when they see what I am
I've been like half a man but I could be whole
Won't you befriend this solitary soul
Got a lot of breezes left to blow
Where I'm going I don't know
Got a lot of heartache got a show
What it's like you'll never know
Got a lot of breezes left to blow
Where I'm going I don't know
Got a lot of heartache got a show
What it's like you'll never know
To be the solitary soul
SNOW AND COMPANY:
I see your heart
I know what you've been through
I know you
Come be a part
You know you belong here
So dry your tears because
Love beyond words - Can fill your heart
Love beyond words - You'll feel a part
Love beyond words - You won't be alone anymore
I see your heart
I know what you've been through
I know you
Come be a part
You know you belong here
So dry your tears because
Love beyond words - Can fill your heart
Love beyond words - You'll feel a part
Love beyond words - You won't be alone anymore
11. Wind At My Back
THE HOMELESS:
How can you be
Like a sky stretched out before me
And the world is turning your way
Even darkness is better this way
Can it be true
That it all comes rushing from you
When my resistance is gone
And there's nothing that I can lean on
You are the wind at my back
You give what I lack
You're the jewel in my hand
You're like rain on dry land
You're the focus the beam
You're realities dream
You're the blue in my black
You're the wind at my back
All of the above
I'II have the lot for my love
And as we're becoming somehow
As we're changing the future to now
I just want to live
In the place that you have to give
I'll let the heat beat me down
Until the water comes down
You are the wind at my back
You give what I lack
You're the jewel in my hand
You're like rain on dry land
You're the focus the beam
You're realities dream
You're the blue in my black
You're the wind at my back
You are the wind at my back
You give what I lack
You're the jewel in my hand
You're like rain on dry land
And my soul has been kissed
Just because you exist
You're the dream that's a fact
You're the wind at my back
You're the wish that I make
You're the prize I might take
You're the gold that is free
You're the groom on one knee
You're the focus the beam
You're realities dream
You're the blue in my black
You're the wind at my back
DISC 2
01. Second Overture
INSTRUMENTAL
02. 4th Of July
NARRATOR:
Another 4th of July
Another pie in the sky
Another man hears the call
Another snake in the grass
Another tire's been slashed
Another man takes the fall
And like a dream dressed in white
Fast as a trick of the light
You see the vision of every man
You've known it since you were small
Even before you could crawl
You had the vision of every man
Another 4th of July
Another shot hits the sky
Another man has to pay
We wish our boy would stay sane
We wish he'd change his name
But life just isn't that way
And like a dream dressed in white
Fast as a trick of the light
You see the vision of every man
You've known it since you were small
Even before you could crawl
You had the vision of every man
Another 4th of July
Another shot hits the sky
Another ego exalts the man
Another 4th of July
Another shot hits the sky
Another ego exalts the man
03. I'm The Guy
THE EGO:
I'm the guy who lurks
In the heart of every man
I'm the creepy jerk
Dressed up like your dearest friend
I am Jonah's whale flying friendly sail
I'm the mind you're living in
I - I'm the guy
I'm the guy who thinks
Of the press and interviews
Like to walk a mile
In God's favorite running shoes
If you specify who has made you cry
Who can give the suicidal blues
I - I'm the guy
I'm the one you can't get free
I will always be
Like a wolf that's at your door
What your women wants is me
I'm the one she's waited for
She's waited for
I'm the one eyed jack
I'm the one you can't ignore
Just give me somethin' better than that
I'm the guy who wants more and more
and more and more and more
And then when I'm through
You'll be turned into
An emotional vegetable
'Cause I - I'm the guy
I'll tell you how great you are
You're the best by far
You're a drop dead centerfold
That girl ain't nothin' - you're the star
And your life will be controlled
It'll be controlled by me
04. Reflection
NARRATOR:
Behold the man, the stranger, the working man's son
He reflected the mountain
Now all souls can see what's been done
And the word spread fast as wild fire
But the people changed as the wind swept higher
And the crowd's got huge, man, you should've seen the choir
And in two years he made the cover of Time
The albino priest with the psychic mind
"You wanna see Mr. Snow you better get in line"
He might've been fine - He might've got through it OK
If not for the girl, when he saw her I guess everything changed
And the loose in him wound up tight
And the flanks all faded in the failing light
And the needy people seemed an oversight
He knew about things he couldn't know
He knew about people and he told them so
But until he touched her he didn't know - She let him know
05. Carie
SNOW:
Carie
Won't you come and see me, the clouds have bid the sun
Let's take a chance and run with just what we can carry
Carie
Won't you come and save me, I am of the earth
But you are like a church with one hand in the sky
And a face that answers why
Won't you please just hear me
Everywhere I hear you - Everywhere you call
Everyday I feel the need to fall into you
I need to be behind your castle walls
Carie
I see it all so clearly, the window's open now
Let's take what fate's allowed, time may never come
Let's take a chance and run with just what we can carry
06. Looking For Answers
SNOW:
I think I'II give her a call to see if she's up
It's kinda late but you know it wouldn't surprise me
If I get her machine again
You see there's a problem I have
And have had for a long, long time
I wish I was blind as a bat
Cause no matter where I'm at
I can see her standing there
I'm still looking for answers
Maybe I can do better
Or maybe this is where I'll be for all eternity
This is a torture of sorts
I've seen the reports of my demise
But don't feel sorry for me
It's not like I can see at all
She's the best thing I've had
And have had for a long, long time
But I'm just a freak with a gift
Living in a paradigm shift
My world is changing everywhere
I'm still looking for answers
Maybe I can do better
Or maybe this is where I'll be for all eternity
I'm still looking for answers
Maybe I can do better
Or maybe this is it for me
This is where I'll be for all eternity
I'm not opposed to being alone, the needle is stuck
My penance was made by my run out of luck
And I don't suppose you'd consider changing your mind
I promise you it will be different this time
And I don't have nothin' to bring to the table
Oh no matter what I say
I'll be here forever - Forever will be today
I'm still looking for answers
Maybe I can do better
Or maybe this is where I'll be for all eternity
I'm still looking for answers
Maybe I can do better
Or maybe this is it for me
This is where I'll be for all eternity
I'm still looking for answers
I'm still looking for answers
I'm still looking for answers
07. Freak Boy
CARRIE:
You're a Freak Boy
You're a Freak Boy
You're a Freak Boy
How could you think I'd love you
You're a toothpick
So pathetic
You make me sick
I barely even know you
I took my turn in your prayer line
I felt something more like a warning
They all saw you secretly looking
Now you're here at two in the morning
You're a Freak Boy
You're a Freak Boy
You're a Freak Boy
How could you think I'd love you
You're a magnet
For the pathetic
I can't tell you
How much your face revolts me
In a way you are the worst kind
Think you know so much about people
So how come you never saw me
Open my church and smell all the people now
You're a Freak Boy
You're a Freak Boy
You're a Freak Boy
How could you think I'd love you
You're a Freak Boy
You're a Freak Boy
You're a Freak Boy
You're a Freak Boy
You're a Freak Boy
You're a Freak Boy
You're a Freak Boy
08. All Is Vanity
SNOW:
And when we touch the future dies
I see the face of my demise
I'm all alone without a friend
I see my fate; my bitter end
Thought I was the bigger man
But all I've done is a grain of sand
Thought I gave the best of me
But all it was was vanity
All is vanity
All is vanity
09. I'm Dying
SNOW:
As the sun burns my eyes
I am pierced to the core
Everyday I feel dead
Nothing feels like before
When my friends come to play
I won't answer the door
When they come in the night
I won't be here no more
Help me I'm dying
My soul is crying
Help me I'm dying now
Hear the shots in the night
And I don't care what for
I had mustard today
I can't eat it no more
When death walks in my house
I will speak my desire
Let the storm take me out
With unquenchable fire
Help me I'm dying
My soul is crying
Help me I'm dying now
10. Freak Boy - Part 2
SNOW:
I'm a Freak boy
I'm a Freak boy
I'm the milk left out until morning
I'm a Freak boy
Everlasting
I'm a bomb set off without warning now
I'm a Freak boy
I'm a Freak boy now
On the street now
Barely breathing
They don't call me Snow it's too charming
Somehow I still
Have some feeling
Like a dog you best not alarm me now
I'm a Freak boy now
I'm a Freak boy now
I'm a Freak boy now
11. Devil's Got My Throat - Revisited
THE ADDICT:
Hey, ain't that Snow
He looks like he's flyin'
Pick him up and bring him along
We'll show him a good time
The Devil's got my throat
I'm goin' down that's all she wrote
The Devil's got my throat
I'm goin' down that's all she wrote
The Devil's got my throat
I'm goin' down that's all she wrote
And I'm your cruel joke
I'm goin' down that's all she wrote
The Devil's got my throat
I'm goin' down that's all she wrote
12. Snow's Night Out

INSTRUMENTAL
14. I Will Go
SNOW:
Help me I'm dying
Help me I'm dying now
And as the whirlwinds disappeared
I looked around and I was here
The clouds were clearing from my eyes
My life stood still and began to rise
And all the faces round about
Began to smile and call me out
No time to think; nothing to know
Just one tremendous letting go
And God was there behind a veil
And everyone I'd helped or failed
These words escaped inside my soul
There's no denying
I will go
(Go before the gate goes down
When you hear the calling sound)
I will go
(You will not be turned away
Bring your weakness with your strength)
I will go
(Where the river meets the sea
Where the sky is holding me)
I will go
(Love will be your ministry
Fly it high when you open up the flood line)
And when I finally came around
Propped in a bed my head bound
I saw my friends they all were there
Some eyes were wet some eyes were clear
They gathered round and touched my hand
And I began to understand
I saw a future yet unknown
I saw a child returning home
And God said "Welcome back my friend"
He brought me back to life again
And when He calls me down the road
I will be going
I will go
(Go before the gate goes down
When you hear the calling sound)
I will go
(You will not be turned away
Bring your weakness with your strength)
I will go
(Where the river meets the sea
Where the sky is holding me)
I will go
(Love will be your ministry
Fly it high when you open up the flood line)
15. Made Alive Again / Wind At My Back
SNOW:
From a world that's never ending
From a sky beyond the skies
A child is born
And love is made alive
Like a flaw that seeks perfection
With a will that will survive
A child is born
And love is made alive
Wind At My Back
SNOW:
And you are the wind at my back
You give what I lack
You're the jewel in my hand
You're like rain, you're like rain
You're like rain now
And my soul has been kissed
Just because you exist
You're the gold that is free
You're the groom on one knee
You're the wind at my back
You give what I lack
You're the jewel in my hand
You're like rain on dry land
You're the focus the beam
You're realities dream
You're the blue in my black
You're the wind at my back
You are the wind at my back
You give what I lack
You're the jewel in my hand
You're like rain on dry land
You're the flow that I feel
The illusion so real
You're the ocean the tide
You're the door open wide
And my soul has been kissed
Just because you exist
You're the gold that is free
You're the groom on one knee
You're the focus the beam
You're realities dream
You're the blue in my black
You're the wind at my back
You're the wish that I make
You're the prize I might take
You're the dream that's a fact
You're the wind at my back
You're the flow that I feel
The illusion so real
You're the ocean the tide
You're the door open wide
And my soul has been kissed
Just because you exist
You're the blue in my black
You're the wind at my back
