"It is 50000 B.C. The world is almost empty; nature is still untouched by man. Off in the distance, a clan of ape-like creatures gather near a cliff side. But I am the first to stand. I must be..." [Neil Morse, Mark McCrite] | |
In fields of green, vast as the oceans | |
Is this a dream, is it evermore? | |
A million years, fast as a notion | |
I stand alone here on the silent shore | |
I'm after prey in the fields | |
Shelter in a cave from the cold and lonely nights | |
And now it all seems so real | |
Warming at the fireside beneath the pale moonlight | |
This is the dawn of time | |
I am the first to stand | |
Looking through the eyes of the primal man | |
This is the dawn of time | |
Witnessing the birth | |
I am the first man on earth | |
The skies of blue reach to the heavens | |
They go on and on forevermore | |
No avenues, no city sidewalks | |
Planet Mars is but ancient lore | |
This place has all that | |
I need No computers glowing screens, no industrial machines | |
Somehow it all seems surreal | |
Memories of days gone by, a slowly fading scene | |
No one here to blame me | |
No one here to hurt | |
So much space here to occupy my mind | |
I can breathe the breath of virgin land | |
The firefly at nighttime | |
The sounds of nothing known | |
And I belong here like | |
I never have before | |
The wandering child returning home | |
When twilight falls, red is the sunset | |
Planets appear across the colored sky | |
No prison walls, no war, no bloodshed | |
Hard to believe this new world will die | |
I wish that | |
I could stay for a while | |
In the dream world that the sequencer creates | |
And though it all seems so real | |
Now I fear the time is gone, | |
I feel its heavy weight | |
Hold on to this moment in time | |
Savor a life how it used to be | |
Hold on to the world in its prime | |
Breathe in the air, feel the energy |
