Great Leap Forwards Lyrics

    I jumped up like apollo
    Crash landed on my feet
    The sun shot like a laser through my brain
    A little death had woken up
    And put a curse on me
    But i knew that that i'd be coming back again
    Inspiration, across the nation
    There's a poverty of expectation
    All i got to do was move ahead

    It's a blue sky
    It's a while cloud
    It's a flame
    It's a blue sky
    White cloud
    Burning flame

    I shot back to the mirror
    There was nothing left to see
    But a phantom with his heartbeat deep inside
    I could feel the dust of ages
    They were blowing back at me
    But i knew that i was born to get it right

    Everybody take the great leap forward
    Everybody knows the mysteries at hand
    If you've been praying all those sweet days for this
    Don't you know there is a whole different plan
    Sometimes i hear the madman calling
    He talks about some dark eternal place
    I've been waiting all my lifetime for this moment
    And now i've got to find some other ways

    One touch ignites this eagle
    One kiss for heavens view
    I need the flame so i can feel alive
    You can tell my little brother
    No requiem for me
    I knew that i was born to make this flight

    Inspiration across the nation
    There's a poverty of expectation
    All i got to do was move ahead
