He had a thousand ideas, You might have heard his name
He lived alone with his vision, Not looking for fortune and 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
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chorus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But he knew He knew more than me or you
No one could see his view Where was he going to
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ verse 2 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chorus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Solo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chorus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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
