Gla** Hammer - Portrait (He Knew) lyrics

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 unravelled 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? 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
