Minor Giant Steps
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Now imagine, can you, can you, if you will
See the sunrise "colorize" the hills
All the waters running down the mountain streams
Flood of Eden bring to life this dream
Tiny steps
Minor giant steps in the world unite
Tiny steps, in the wisdom ramp
Minor giant steps in the world unite
On the mountain side, silver thread unwind
Gently linger on, crystal waters chime
Watch the engineer get the details right!
Watch him shape the day
Out of the darkness comes the light
Out of the darkness and the night
Tiny steps, in the wisdom ramp
Minor giant steps in the world unite
Now we understand how we play a part
In the tireless games
Circles round a sacred heart
All the beauty there is
Our perception of the dream
Sharing equally, all like players of a team
Sixtynine, we're walking on the moon
Sending those waves to see if we're alone
50 million keep choking in the sun
Nothing learned from life still dog eat dog
It's just a transmission so we don't mind
But what about god and what lies behind
Those patterns are old and make no sense
So keep on exploiting until the end
The masterminds create the new frontiers
So "einstein me" please I wanna see it clear
Bit by bit they took this world apart
There's no more secret left as it hit the market
It's just a transmission so we don't mind
But what about god and what lies behind
Those patterns are old and make no sense
So keep on exploiting until the end
I'm just the minor giant soul
Trying so hard to understand
The things that I cannot see
Arise from inside of me
Coming to terms, to lose control
See how a man becomes a soul
If thinking is wider than the sea
Arise from the dream within a dream
It's strange how life's illusions turn
They look so different around the corners
I wasn't prepared for such a journey
And now there ain't no turning back
I'm just a minor giant bird
Sitting on someone's shoulder
And she might undertake this journey
While I keep getting older
She once was brighter that the sun
I may have been her soulmate
She couldn't speak while she was dumb
But I couldn't figure out
It's strange how life's illusions turn
They look so different around the corners
I wasn't prepared for such a journey
And now there ain't no turning back
It's strange how words can start a war
They call it the domino syndrome
A new world is hiding behind the door
A world that's always been there
