| REMEMBER THE FUTURE
|
| [Having visited the planet many times before, bluebird has always found that
|
| the 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.]
|
| Take a trip back in time
|
| Live 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 prophecied
|
| Length of day and height of sky
|
| Made his tools chased his meal
|
| Then progressed he built the wheel
|
| Falling down from the heaven
|
| Twisted leaves — so twisted
|
| Still so strong after all those
|
| I can see the meaning
|
| Twisted trees — so twisted
|
| Spin the wheel of never ending
|
| Blessed where the ways of the creatures in their caves
|
| Who hold the last clue in the life of me and you
|
| They had to fight to make good their rights
|
| And bluebird could not stir
|
| Who — who made you and me Whose are the eyes of the world that look at me Falling from their saddles
|
| Victories lost battles
|
| Spin the wheel of never ending
|
| 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 beared
|
| As if to rip the flesh already torn
|
| Who — who made you and me Whose were the eyes of the world
|
| That looked at me
|
| I was the first to see it all when rainbow
|
| crossed the bridge at dawn
|
| Forty billion miles I came to tell this
|
| tale already told
|
| Who — who made you and who made me Whose are the eyes of the world we’re
|
| looking through
|
| Remember the first time
|
| I came here the last time
|
| Remember the future will always be there
|
| But now that it’s over
|
| I’ll see you the next time
|
| Remember the future is yours
|
| And now that you’ve seen me I see it’s 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
|
| [Bluebird decides to give the boy new eyes the boy realises now who his friend
|
| is. |
| He asks questions and makes suggestions and in turn receives from
|
| bluebird wisdom and the answer to every question. |
| Bluebird then departs
|
| knowing that his message had at last been heard.]

|
| (BOY)
|
| Smile if you want to Not when you can
|
| Break down if you want to Not when you can
|
| Follow me home 'cos tomorrow
|
| Tomorrow never comes
|
| (BLUEBIRD)
|
| You stand before me Fate in your hand
|
| You say tomorrow will never begin
|
| Follow me home 'cos today is tomorrow yesterday
|
| Walking down lonely roads
|
| What do I see
|
| Won’t be long till they come again free
|
| Name your place, name mine too
|
| Where will we be Won’t be long till they crucify me Here they come
|
| See them run, watch them go now
|
| (BOY)
|
| I can see you through the morning mist
|
| and the evening too
|
| I can hear you getting closer now to the
|
| living truth
|
| You say that life has no end
|
| But believe me you’ve got to pretend
|
| Because I can see you coming closer now to the living truth
|
| Let it grow, someday you’re gonna let it show
|
| (BLUEBIRD)
|
| I can see you come close to me And I’ll tell you true
|
| I can feel you listen carefully to what
|
| I say to you
|
| I tell you life has no end
|
| There’s no need to pretend
|
| 'Cos you see you, believe yourself that’s all
|
| you have to do And let it grow, somehow you gotta let it show
|
| You know that I can’t stop it You know, you know that I…
|
| Let it grow, you know you need no sympathy
|
| You don’t realise how much you needed me You will realise it’s better when you give
|
| 'Cos your life is longer than you live
|
| The laws of nature are to heal the wounds of man
|
| Use them right and they will help you if they can
|
| Wrongly used and you’ll only harm yourselves
|
| Then it’s too late to come to me for help
|
| Don’t walk away give it a chance
|
| Let it grow |
