The Manhattan Transfer - First Ascent lyrics

Climbin' high, reachin' wide, makin' strides We are all travellin' On our way towards a fate all our own Breakin' times, new designs, from the source of our minds Echoing what the future unfolds Here we go we're travellin' Movin' faster, higher than ever before Yes we're now far reachin' it And we're breakin' new ground doin' it Steady goin' when non have ventured before Einstein went and figured it Movin' faster, pa**in' the speed of light did it And we're doin' it Breakin' the code that the gods held from us As we venture and we open the doors Thought ascend, we unfold From the source of being Comes a light we have and hold Older than the relics of Babylon have to tell us and We stand upon all the strong shoulders of our history Towards our destiny, and the precious memory of our spirit Here we go we're travellin' Movin' faster, higher than ever before Yes we're now far reachin' it And we're breakin' new ground doin' it Steady goin' when non have ventured before Just like Armstrong Eagled it Steppin', slidin', buzzin' with Buzz on the moon did it And we're doin' it Seein' what the gods up on Mars left to us As we venture and we open the doors From God's livin' spirit Comes a love that's ours to own Older than Upanashads tried to show us And we shine aside all the bright star lights of the galaxies Towards infinity and the living light that dwells in our spirit Thought ascended, we unfold
