Remember The Future Lyrics

REMEMBER THE FUTURE

[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
