Apogee - At Last lyrics

In my youth I was rapid, impatient and keen to explore all the options the multiple challenges - no time to loose for the life of my dreams inspiration was born out of nowhere By approaching my goal I felt well on my way - so important this feeling for keeping me satisfied - purging emotions enchanting the day motivation to keep me going Further and deeper into the unknown while gaining complexity and fascination I'm climbing the mountain up on its crest where I suddenly feel stagnation The pa**able ways become narrow and steep and often I had to search weeks for the hidden path - finally revealing the great quantum leap but darkness around was growing In the beginning the spirit was different though - whole society filled with desire fertile soil for all wondrous creatures to grow in the light of expectation and hope there were times when it all came together so well but then just disappeared and vanished for years But now inspiration is flashing again though more seldom than once it used to be and carries me over the canyons of sorrow still glowing with pa**ion and shining through at last Am I a relic - a curious dinosaur - who somehow survived and now just cannot stop? to revel within all those past and nostalgic spheres - a garden of pleasure that doesn't exist anymore - to my neighbours it all seems a little strange anachronistic and way out of tune And then in the end I'm sure that it's worth the searching with all intensity and if I don't cease to carry it further I'm sure I will reach the distant shore at last
