Curved Air - Over and Above lyrics

One fine night I left my soul to journey on the wind Far beyond the stars I watched to see where it would go In the twilight realms of space Spirits known but with no face Eyes to see, no hands to place around the ether Try and grasp the meaning, why and wherefore of this world Rested for a while to see which way the wind would blow Found ourselves, my soul and I, upon an unknown moon Barren rocks and ashes strewn like the ashes of the mind Soaring off once more to see if we could find there Looking for a somewhere, something that would bring us peace Watch the dawn of a distant sun, tells us now that our night has gone Senses numbed by the blinding light, countless stars vanish into night Far away on a distant star, midnight chimes to a sleeping world Far away on a distant star, life begins in a thousand years Freed we watch the universe extend throughout an age Dared not think if this is freedom, build yourself a cage Freedom only of mind, there exists no other kind Fettered in your flesh you find escape is pointless Prison bars meaningless when you find your soul can fly
