lyrics: J. Morse © 1983 From where I stand, I can see the sea And the land and the sky that circles above me Nothing can hide from the wind And the tide, all of this, I see clearly The mountains rise majestic, but Still below my view The waves roll in and out in time Directed by my cue Nothing can evade my sight All is shown to me The highest peaks of mountains and The lowest depths of sea (Higher. . .) My vision soars into the sky (Clearer. . .) Are the images in my eye (Stronger. . .) Are the thoughts which carry me away (Help me!) I can't take this one more day And as my Vantage Point grows further away I long to go back to see my live the way It was one distant day. . . long ago Going back in time I'm just An ordinary man Trying to make a living the Best way that I can I set my visions on my paper Timed and rhymed Then set the poem to music let the Song invade your mind And then one day my perception began to expand Wasn't long before things got way out of hand I began to see things from very far away It's still a mystery to this day (Higher. . .) My vision soars into the sky (Clearer. . .) Are the images in my eye (Stronger. . .) Are the thoughts which carry me away (Help me!) I can't take this one more day And as my Vantage Point grows further away I long to go back to see my live the way It was one distant day. . . long ago |
