The air is steam and fire A lift-off to negate defeat A victory imperfect, there's always more It's all we've ever longed to reach And all we've ever longed to see Someday, somewhere On a highway to the sun With marvelled eyes, with blinded eyes we'll watch The holocaust of our wildest dreams
From here to nowhere (nowhere, nowhere) From there to somewhere (somewhere, somewhere) From the seas to the highest heights From the moon to the lowest lows From a spark to a raging fire From the heart to the sateless mind
Stunned and amazed by what we are We celebrate and name the stars Expand, aspire, don't look ahead The more we grow the less we see The less we see the more we'll find The light that blinds is darkness to our eyes
Through a telescope I dream A summit in the sky blue snow I'll carve my name into withered stone It's all I've ever longed to do And all I've ever longed to feel I'd burn the midnight oil to get there If I could only reach you now If I could only name you now The blind spot on a yellowed map
Stunned and amazed by what I am To feel alive in some lonesome luck Explore, desire, don't look ahead The higher I go the less I see The deeper it hurts the less I feel And the heart of the matter is hardly to perceive
From here to nowhere (nowhere, nowhere) From there to somewhere (somewhere, somewhere) From the seas to the highest heights From the moon to the lowest lows From cult to culture, from ape to man From the hand to the hungry mouth
