Song title: Simple Minds - Great Leap Forwards

Edit By: 216.73.216.244

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 Id be coming back again
Inspiration, across the nation
Theres a poverty of expectation
All I got to do was move ahead

Its a blue sky
Its a while cloud
Its a flame
Its 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 youve been praying all those sweet days for this
Dont you know there is a whole different plan
Sometimes I hear the madman calling
He talks about some dark eternal place
Ive been waiting all my lifetime for this moment
And now Ive 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
Theres a poverty of expectation
All I got to do was move ahead
