Songs Title：portrait （he knew）

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 deepest lost in enigmathe
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
totally something It was new

Oh, where was he going to
