Story Behind The Song
This is the story of a remarkable day in which I fully realized the changing of the generational guard. A stunning, futuristic-feeling party right out of a movie, high above the ground looking out over Manhattan Island. Great conversations with some beautiful, and much younger people. It was a bit magical...

Lyrics
The Space Between Us
Words & Music: Allen Wentz
The space between us isn't really very far
The space between us spans a million different galaxies
The space between us isn't made of distant stars
The space between us is made of years
From Hong Kong to LA you glide with nothing in the way
And like a bird you land wherever you so please
Rain rolls off your back, your feathered wings of gentle black
Will spread to open up the sky for all to see
Time is the answer, but we never get enough
Time holds us firmly in the palm of its tender hand
Look up into the sky what do you see with naked eye
Light from a billion years ago, telling stories from a billion years ago,
Apartments made of glass, suspended high above the past
With sun just pouring in illuminating all
Nothing that I feel is any different than the wheel
That keeps on turning on its way to kingdom come
