Great Leap Forward

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

BRIDGE

It's a blue sky

It's a white 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

BRIDGE

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 Heaven's 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

BRIDGE

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

Every woman, every child, every man

If you're waiting all your lifetime for this coming

You there's no turning back again

You there's no turning back again

BRIDGE

All I got to do is step ahead

(Everybody)

All I got to do is move ahead

(Everybody)

Blue sky, white cloud

All I got to do is get ahead

(Everybody)

All I got to do is get ahead

(Everybody)

Blue sky, white cloud

It's a burning flame

(Everybody)

All I got to do is step ahead

All I got to do is move ahead

All I got to do is get ahead
