Anderson wrote "The Prophet" which tells the story of a man, followed by many, who tells the others to find and believe in themselves and not follow "like sheep".{{sfn|Morse|1996|p=18}} The song borrows a theme from "Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity" from ''[[The Planets]]'' suite by English composer [[Gustav Holst]] and shows Anderson incorporating other themes from classical music, to which he listened regularly.{{sfn|Morse|1996|p=18}} |
