Window To Space Lyrics - Singles - Redemption

[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 despair 

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
