Sure, it stands on it's own as a poem. It's pretty fantastical and not necessarily the type of poem I would choose to read but it definitely stands. It reads very lyrically, which makes sense.
Now I want to hear the song! I know what you mean though, I have had to type out my own lyrics for various reasons in the past and I'm never sure how they read because I can never separate them from melody. It's impossible.

The song affects me emotionally more than I would expect the lyrics alone to do. Poignant I think is the word I'm looking for.
The final line is delivered by Jon Anderson's son.

This song is fantastic, so much more so with the music.
