From Wikipedia:
The final section (of Gates of Delirium, Soon), in which the drive of the previous sixteen minutes is replaced by a gentle melody and a lyrical prayer for peace, was released as a U.S. single under the title "Soon" in early 1975.

"Sound Chaser" is a mostly instrumental piece that echoes the then-popular jazz fusion of Mahavishnu Orchestra and Return To Forever. "To Be Over" features complex, melodic arrangements of guitar and electric sitar (at one point quoting a theme from Tales from Topographic Oceans), and relatively straightforward lyrics.

A special promotional only, white label, "banded for airplay" version of the LP was available to U.S. radio stations in 1974. It has the track "The Gates of Delirium" broken into three segments: the opening vocal section, the instrumental "battle" middle section, and the "Soon" final section, with slight fades between each to aid with on-air segues. This was done to try to increase Relayer's radio exposure, as most radio stations would provide only limited, if any, air time to a 22-minute song. The edit of "Soon" resulting from this treatment was subsequently released as a single in the U.S.

The critical reaction to Relayer, coming after a predecessor that many critics felt was pretentious and long-winded, was mixed. However, it was still a commercial success, with many observers later considering it vastly underrated.

Lyrics:
Soon, oh soon the light,
Pass within and soothe this endless night
And wait here for you,
Our reason to be here.

Soon, oh soon the time,
All we move to gain will reach and calm;
Our heart is open,
Our reason to be here.

Long ago, set into rhyme.
Soon, oh soon the light,
Ours to shape for all time,
Ours the right;
The sun will lead us,
Our reason to be here.

Soon, oh soon the light,
Ours to shape for all time,
Ours the right;
The sun will lead us,
Our reason to be here.

I used to ditch school and play this album over 'n over on the big Grundig stereo set we had. I could crank it up and NO one would ever bother me as I immersed myself in the lush enveloping world of sounds. That was '74... And when YES came to Anaheim Stadium in '76, I had to work. I've kicked myself ever since then for missing that. After work, I drove over to the stadium parking lot and sat on the hood awhile to listen. Today, it's a bit like a prized bottle of wine: I take it out, have some to enjoy it, then carefully put it back so as not to get too used to hearing it. I want it to be special each time. I'm sooo glad my generation produced such remarkable music. I hope younger generations keep it alive long after I'm gone!

Chris Squire R.I.P....  Chris passed away yesterday at the age of 67 due to Leukemia...  This piece SOON seems a beautiful way to listen and gently honour the life of the brilliant bass guitarist who played on every one of the YES albums ( the only member who did so ).... So soon we leave our lives behind.

one can't really appreciate this song standing alone...it has so much more to say when you hear it when it was intended to be heard: as the "conclusion" of Gates of Delirium....and as I get older I appreciate Relayer more than I did as a teenager back in the 70's. Seeing Yes in concert (back then) was pure unadulterated surround sound : )

I never tire of listening to this song. Such a beautiful song. Love it as much today as I did as a teen in the 70's.

One of the finest pieces pieces of music I have ever heard. Although, I believe that you need to hear the whole song to appreciate this final section...Just my opinion.

One of my best memories of 42 years ago was seeing Yes perform at an outside venue in Newark, NJ. No one will ever create music like this ever again. The experience has never been matched.

A master piece by one of the most innovative bands in rock history. Songs like this make me feel nostalgic, knowing also that quality music like this is no longer made nowadays. For me it is therefore YES forever!

This is absolutely my favorite Yes song. Steve's guitar brings me to tears! I am moved to worship by this song...and I agree with you, Jorge Leite, the Son will lead us!!

Did any band ever aim higher? After the tumult and anguish that preceded it, this piece brought a perfect tranquility. Now it brings back my youth.

When I listen to Gates (which is still multiple times a week after 45 years), there is something so magical about the gong, which is the transition from the battle to the prayer; that brief moment in time I feel that I am connected, oneness, with all of creation. Yes - you do that for me. I will always love you all.

Should know that but didn't
Gates is such an intense piece of music concluded with this angelic song.
There was the war and then the end of the US draft. I was saved from the gates of hell
There is reason for every moment and i am grateful I have this moment to enjoy this song once again

I have always loved the YES of Jon and Chris and I always will. Their music will stand the test of time as it is with all the great composers of history. YES was the greatest progressive rock band ever. Jon Anderson and Chris Squire created the most amazing music. Jon was the soul of YES! They could never be the same without Jon and Chris together. I had hoped for a reunion but sadly that never happened.
