The world in view
lyrics by jamal
All this has happened before
In a dream I once had
Won’t bring directions to home
They’re trapped in a song now
Suppose we could let it go
Our search for a new home
Just like a ship out of control
It’s stuck in a tailspin
So many want in control
So many with demands
If we could work as a whole
And figure this thing out
While you were searching for clues
Someone shot the old man
Why are you holding his hand
It’s a mystery to me
So many lovers we’ll lose
We’ll hang their photographs up
To fill peripheral views
Down long corridors
And still I’m dreaming of you
So many photographs
All this has happened before
In a dream I once had
You see them turning to you
Words follow the meaning
Suppose we could hold you to
The standards of our leaders
But then you couldn’t attain
To things worth attaining to
All this will happen again
Once I dream another
Song is returning its theme
Its melody’s haunting you
And now you’re in a great hall
So similar to one you once knew
Just like a feeling of home
A home you never knew
I had a vision of you
Standing there, glowing from far
You were among others too
With similar points of view
And then a small brunette girl
With reasons all of her own
Made a break out from her room
And headed straight for the door
Which details will you recall
When later put to the test
To solve a great puzzle with
No chance for second guess
And then for reasons unknown
You find some meaning correlates to the tone
And then not a moment too soon
The ship turns to see the world in view
