Song information
In 2015, Kenneth asked me if I could cover this very beautiful song from APP, so I did it. I asked Scott Reid (now SR_Sings, previously known as livelargemusic on iComp) and he did a very great job, sending not less than 6 audio tracks (main lead, chorus and back voices). I must admit Scott has a very powerful voice (I had to lower it a little bit in some passages).

La Sagrada Familia appears as the first track on the last APP album, "Gaudi", published in 1987. The main composer, Eric Wolfson, was died in 2009. On this song, the vocals are performed by John Miles.

Lyrics
In recent times
There is no one who could approach
At all to Antonio Gaudi
He started a new cathedral in Barcelona
It is called the Sagrada Familia or Holy Family
The sad thing is, they could try to finish it
But I don't think they'll live up to it
♪
Who knows where the road may lead us, only a fool would say
Who knows if we'll meet along the way?
Follow the brightest star as far as the brave may dare
What will we find when we get there?
♪
La Sagrada Familia
We pray the storm will soon be over
La Sagrada Familia
For the lion and the lamb
Who knows where the winds may blow us, only a fool would say
Who knows if we'll ever reach the shore?
Follow a rising sun with eyes that may only stare
What kind of fire will burn us there?
What kind of fire?
Oh-oh, only a fool would say
La Sagrada Familia
The wind has changed, the storm is over
La Sagrada Familia
For the lion and the lamb
La Sagrada Familia
We thank the Lord, the danger's over
La Sagrada Familia
There's peace throughout the land
♪
Under clear blue skies, our voices rise in songs of glory
And for all those years, our eyes and ears were filled with tears
Oh-oh-oh-oo-oh, filled with tears
Oh-ah!
♪
Who knows where the world may turn us, only a fool would say
Who knows what the fates may have in store?
Follow the light of truth as far as our eyes can see
How should we know where that may be? (Where that may be)
How should we know? (How should we know?)
♪
Then the angry skies, the battle cries, the sounds of glory
And for all those years, our eyes and ears were filled with tears
Filled with tears
♪
Who knows where the road may lead us, only a fool would say
Who knows what's been lost along the way?
Look for the promised land in all of the dreams we share
How will we know when we are there? (When we are there)
How will we know? (How will we know?)
Oh-oh, only a fool would say
La Sagrada Familia
The war is won, the battle's over
La Sagrada Familia
For the lion and the lamb
La Sagrada Familia
We thank the Lord, the danger's over
La Sagrada Familia
Behold the mighty hand
La Sagrada Familia
The night is gone, the waiting's over
La Sagrada Familia
There's peace throughout the land
Until the next time
Until the next time
La Sagrada Familia

Wow, wow. I remember this collab. I only had a tiny role. It is Scott and Thierry that are the stars. This is so well done. I love this song. There are so many good Alan Parsons Project songs but this is one that really stands out. When I am in Barcelona, this is playing in my head all time. Thank you for sharing it again.
