He had a thousand ideas
you might have heard his name
He lived alone with his vision
Not looking for fortune or fame
Never said too much to speak of
He was off on another plane
The words that
he said were a mystery
Nobody's sure he was sane
But he knew
he knew more than me or you
No one could see his view
Oh where was he going to
He was in search of an answer
The nature of what we are
He was trying to do
it a new way
He was bright as a star
But nobody understood him
His numbers are not the way
He's lost in the deepest enigma
Which no one's unraveled today
But he knew
he knew more than me or you
No one could see his view
Oh where was he going to
And he tried
but before he could
tell us he died
When he left us the people cried
Oh where was he going to?
<Interlude>
He had a different idea
A glimpse of the master plan
He could see into the future
A true visionary man
But there's something
he never told us
It died when he went away
If only he could
have been with us
No telling what he might say
But he knew
he knew more than me or you
No one could see his view
Oh, where was he going to
But he knew
you could tell by
the picture he drew
It was totally something new
Oh where was he going to?
sh that I could talk to you
Be with you somehow
I know you're in a better place
And you know I can see your face
I know you're smiling down on me
Saying everything's okay
I wish that I could hold you now
I wish that I could
touch you now
