Lyrics

Cruzin
Lyrics by Steve M. Mann 02/10/2006

We?ll start in our system, then light years beyond
Pull on our suits, slide our helmets on
Light bends before our eyes, the darkness expands
Stars stream in long streaks; wonder where we?ll land

[Chorus]
Cruzin? into vastness ? how far till the end
Passin? thru time now ? when did it all begin
Cruzin? into vastness ? how far till the end
Passin? thru time now ? when did it all begin

Strange worlds flying by, their beauty unknown
Seems like we?ve been here, have we previously flown
Fresh surges in our brains, what are these new thoughts
They?re foreign but familiar, just what have we been taught

[Chorus]
Cruzin? into vastness ? how far till the end
Passin? thru time now ? when did it all begin
Cruzin? into vastness ? how far till the end
Passin? thru time now ? when did it all begin

[Guitar Solo]

Started with high hopes, we raced to explore
We were so self-centered, always looking for more
What we reached ahead for, was found from behind
The answers were not ?out there?, but in our mind
Light bends before our eyes, the darkness expands
Stars stream in long streaks; wonder where we?ll land

[Bridge]
We believed it was us, that was the teacher
We called to Earth, but couldn?t reach her
We were the specimens, in a giant beaker
Our fate had sadly turned, much bleaker

[Chorus]
Cruzin? into the vastness ? how far till the end
Passin? thru time and space ? when did it all begin
Cruzin? into the vastness ? how far till the end
Passin? thru time and space ? when did it all begin

[Repeat]
