Remember the Future, Pt. 1
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.
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
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

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

And so I have told you
You see what's before you
Remember the future is yours
