Nektar - Remember The Future lyrics
Your rating:
[Having visited the planet many times before, bluebird has always found that the people he met couldn't accept him for what he was rather than how he looked. With his blue skin and wings they either ran away from him or tried to harm him. He makes mental contact with a young blind boy and tells him stories of past and future in the form of visions and amongst these visions he places a picture of himself. The boy is not disturbed by the visions but confused by all that bluebird tells him.] Take a trip back in time Live evolving growing higher Not just space that bluebird sees In the sea a new domain Evolution Swimming forth came on land Beast to ape grasping hands Thinking kill never ran Lived in caves enter man Evolution Tamed the fire prophecied Length of day and height of sky Made his tools chased his meal Then progressed he built the wheel Falling down from the heaven Twisted leaves - so twisted Still so strong after all those L-I-E-S I can see the meaning Twisted trees - so twisted Spin the wheel of never ending T-I-M-E Blessed where the ways of the creatures in their caves Who hold the last clue in the life of me and you They had to fight to make good their rights And bluebird could not stir Who - who made you and me Whose are the eyes of the world that look at me Falling from their saddles Victories lost battles Spin the wheel of never ending L-I-F-E Blessed were the ways of the sinners in their graves Who saved the last place in the shade for me and you Forty thousand teeth were beared As if to rip the flesh already torn Who - who made you and me Whose were the eyes of the world That looked at me I was the first to see it all when rainbow crossed the bridge at dawn Forty billion miles I came to tell this tale already told Who - who made you and who made me Whose are the eyes of the world we're looking through Remember the first time I came here the last time Remember the future will always be there But now that it's over I'll see you the next time Remember the future is yours And now that you've seen me I see it's behind you Remember the future will always be there And so I have told you You see what's before you Remember the future is yours [Bluebird decides to give the boy new eyes the boy realises now who his friend is. He asks questions and makes suggestions and in turn receives from bluebird wisdom and the answer to every question. Bluebird then departs knowing that his message had at last been heard.] (BOY) I can see you I can hear you I can see it all when I look into your eyes I can sense it all when I look into your skies I can see oh I can feel You are me and that's the way It has to be you are me I can feel it all when I look behind your smile I can hear it all when I look behind your mind I can sense oh I can feel You are me and that's the way It's always been, you are me Bluebird what do you see Bluebird what do you feel (BLUEBIRD) I feel everything, I see life, I see stars And I can't care for anything (BOY) Bluebird where have you been Bluebird what have you seen (BLUEBIRD) I've been everywhere I've seen all around And I can't warn against anything (BOY) Smile if you want to Not when you can Break down if you want to Not when you can Follow me home 'cos tomorrow Tomorrow never comes (BLUEBIRD) You stand before me Fate in your hand You say tomorrow will never begin Follow me home 'cos today is tomorrow yesterday Walking down lonely roads What do I see Won't be long till they come again free Name your place, name mine too Where will we be Won't be long till they crucify me Here they come See them run, watch them go now (BOY) I can see you through the morning mist and the evening too I can hear you getting closer now to the living truth You say that life has no end But believe me you've got to pretend Because I can see you coming closer now to the living truth Let it grow, someday you're gonna let it show (BLUEBIRD) I can see you come close to me And I'll tell you true I can feel you listen carefully to what I say to you I tell you life has no end There's no need to pretend 'Cos you see you, believe yourself that's all you have to do And let it grow, somehow you gotta let it show You know that I can't stop it You know, you know that I... Let it grow, you know you need no sympathy You don't realise how much you needed me You will realise it's better when you give 'Cos your life is longer than you live The laws of nature are to heal the wounds of man Use them right and they will help you if they can Wrongly used and you'll only harm yourselves Then it's too late to come to me for help Don't walk away give it a chance Let it grow [Mike -=- piscine@rs1.tcs.tulane.edu
