PETER GABRIEL lyrics : "More Than This"

i woke up and the world outside was dark
all so quiet before the dawn
opened up the door and walked outside

the ground was cold

i walked until i couldn't walk anymore

to a place i'd never been
there was something stirring in the air
in front of me, i could see


more than this
more than this

so much more than this
there is something else there
when all that you had has all gone

and more than this
i stand
feeling so connected

and i'm all there
right next to you


it started when i saw the ship go down
i saw them struggle in the sea
and suddenly the picture disappears

in front of me

now we're busy making all our busy plans

on foundations built to last
but nothing fades as fast as the future
and nothing clings like the past, until we can see


more than this
more than this

so much more than this
there is something out there
more than this

it's coming through
and more than this
i stand alone and so connected

and I'm all there
right next to you


oh then it's alright
when with every day another bit falls away
oh but it's still alright, alright, alright

and like words together we can make some sense

much more than this

way beyond imagination
much more than this
beyond the stars

with my head so full
so full of fractured pictures
and i'm all there

right next to you
so much more than this
there is something else there

when all that you had has all gone
and more than this
i'm alone

feeling so connected
and i'm all there right next to you


more than this
more than this
more than this
