Liner Notes

One verse written back in the '70s, the rest completed today.

Lyrics

People from another time, another place
Seen but not seen; familiar face
Silently, quickly, transformation
Another time, another place, restoration

Years and years ago, I had an inkling
Soon a stronger vibe, became a twinkling
Then suddenly aware, found myself in Limbo
Watching all the world, as if through a window

I saw growth of cities, many folks around me
Calling out to them, hoping that they'd found me
But my screams were silent, they didn't hear a sound
Waste away in my state, never to be found

Battered at my window, glass would not give way
Tried to climb the walls, still was forced to stay
Was I even human? Didn't really know
Only something I remembered very long ago

What will it take to free me? Waiting anxiously
Feel my time is coming, amping up my plea
Only takes some wishing, perhaps upon a star
Can I make my descent now, coming from afar?

Finding a new body, infant in their arms
I will not let new life come to any harm
I, so long forgotten, exist now once again
I will always be here, as I've always been.

I have now returned, I'm in the present
Where I had come from, it wasn't pleasant
Knowledge is within me, but not abused
I remember everything but it can't be used
