NEKTAR - REMEMBER THE FUTURE (Part 1 of 2)

REMEMBER THE FUTURE (1973)

NEKTAR

Having visited the planet many times before Bluebird had always found that people he met couldn't accept him for what he was rather than how he looked with his blue skin and wings they either ran away from him or tried to harm him. He makes mental contact with a young blind boy and tells him stories of past and future in the form of visions and amongst these visions he places a picture of himself. The boy is not disturbed by the visions but confused by all that Bluebird tells him.

REMEMBER THE FUTURE (PART I) - 1973 - NEKTAR.

LYRICS

Take a trip back in time

Life evolving growing higher

Not just space that bluebird sees

in the sea a new domain

Evolution

Swimming forth came on land

beast to ape grasping hands

thinking kill never ran

lived in caves enter man

Evolution

Tamed the fire prophesied

Length of day and height of sky

Made his tools chased his meal

Then progressed he built the wheel

Falling down from heaven

Twisted leaves – so twisted

Still so strong after all those

L–I–E–S

I can see the meaning

Twisted Trees – so twisted

Spin the wheel of never ending

T–I–M–E

Blessed were the ways of the creatures in their caves

Who hold the last clue in the life of me and you

They had the fight to make good their rights

And Bluebird could not stir

Who — who made you? Who made me?

Whose are the eyes of the world that looked at me?

Falling from their saddles

Victories lost battles

Spin the wheel of never ending

L–I–F–E

Blessed were the ways of the sinners in their graves

Who saved the last place in the shade for me and you?

Forty Thousand teeth were bared

As if to rip the flesh already torn

Who — who made you? Who made me?

Whose were the eyes of the world

that looked at me?

I was the first to see it all when the rainbow

crossed the bridge at dawn

Forty billion miles I came to tell this

Tale already told

Who — who made you? Who made me?

Whose are the eyes of the world were

looking through?

Remember the first time

I came here the last time

Remember the future will always be there

But now that its over

I'll see you the next time

Remember the future is yours

And now that you've seen me

I see its behind you

Remember the future will always be there

And so I have told you

You see what's before you

Remember the future is yours
