first ascent

Singer:manhattan transfer, the

climbin' high

reachin' wide

makin' strides

we are all travellin' on our way towards a fate all our own

breakin' times

new designs

from the source of our minds

echoing what the future unfolds

here we go we're travellin'

movin' faster

higher than ever before

yes we're now far reachin' it

and we're breakin' new ground doin' it

steady goin' when non have ventured before

einstein went and figured it

movin' faster

passin' the speed of light did it

and we're doin' it

breakin' the code that the gods held from us

as we venture and we open the doors

thought ascend

we unfold

from the source of being

comes a light we have and hold

older than the relics of babylon have to tell us and

we stand upon all the strong shoulders of our history

towards our destiny

and the precious memory of our spirit

here we go we're travellin'

movin' faster

higher than ever before

yes we're now far reachin' it

and we're breakin' new ground doin' it

steady goin' when non have ventured before

just like armstrong eagled it

steppin'

slidin'

buzzin' with buzz on the moon did it

and we're doin' it

seein' what the gods up on mars left to us

as we venture and we open the doors

from god's livin' spirit

comes a love that's ours to own

older than upanashads tried to show us

and we shine aside all the bright star lights of the galaxies

towards infinity and the living light that dwells in our spirit

thought ascended

we unfold
