Pioneering Systems
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.
What would we have done
If you'd never come back?
The world, what was it coming to
The world, what was it coming to
What more could we have done
It carried on so long
The world, what was it coming to
The world, what was it coming to
When we dreamed in low resistance
Of pioneering systems
And listened to the words "we want to hear"
You had a vision
You were cutting your son's hair
What a revelation
You never saw yourself there
What a revelation
