Window To Space Lyrics

[m. van Dyk: l. Boyarsky]

There's a kid who sees the world

A selfish kid: a good kid: a good kid

By his own means he knew the price of life

By his own means he knew the price for you

He must reveal it now, but to who?

A cluttered world. A damaged world

A lost world he lives in

He stammers for the door but it is shut

Get out of the bars young one

Reach for the stars young one

Reach for the stars and be free

Seek shelter in voices you hear in the night

Rid yourself of the world that surrounds you

They didn't care

Now you should go

Seek to find all that is

Reach high for life

"I'll search for answer and I'll search for friend

And I'll search for you 'til I'm gone.

Now I must go be free."

Climb towards the sun and burn your fingers on life

If you're lucky you'll burn your body and soul

Remember the dreams, remember the visions

Remember the morals and values you had

And never forget the view from above

"Shatter me true 'til I'm gone and alone;

heal me 'til I'm whole"

See her lying there in the shade

Listening to the sounds of the green

Wishing, waiting, wanting so bad

She seeks the knowledge of the dream you once had

And wonders if you can recall that day

You stood in the park while it got dark

And conversed among the souls of the dead

One hundred billion people sifting through the sands

Looking for love and searching for truth

How misguided they've become since their youth

Become since their youth

Twisted and rotting and smelling of death

Their minds lie wasted and yearning for breath

And wanting and wanting some air

They crumble and fall onto the ground in despairRedemption - Window To Space - http://motolyrics.com/redemption/window-to-space-lyrics.html

And the gods look from the heavens

And the men look from their graves

And the gods cry "Damn!" and a light flashes forth

Silence is fallen all over the land

And a black void settles over the night

From the filth and the blood and the crowd does emerge

An angry young man with a poem in hand

A prayer in his head

A blessing in heart

And an answer to all on the tip of his tongue

"Let the smoke clear

Look upwards my friends

See the beginning of life

See life's tragic ends

And never forget the boys who have died

For a cause not their own but of the wise"

We still survive but the sun has been lost and it falls to blaze

Lost in pollution's excretion of haze

Individuals do emerge but so few and apart

They are unseen by the evil and stark

And the landscape that bears the immortals who share

Who give of themselves and receive only care

The care of one hundred trillion people in space

And the care of one hundred billion who live on the place

The ones far out and the ones who discover

Are the ones who inspire a man and his lover

From the dawn of time to the reaches of space

Companionship and trust are the keys to fate

We want to fear all of the knowledge that we lust

Why do we work? Why do we play?

Why do we kill? Why do we live?

I want to be happy and I want to know sad

I want to have knowledge and I want to be dumb

I wish for the day, and it will come

That I know all the answers

And I know what to be and I know what to search for

And I know where to achieve

And there it shall lie

My corpse in the gutter

With knowledge and love

And the taste of the better

Looking through the window to space
