Blueprints - Preparing for Departure

from Earth Rising by Chris Conway

lyrics

Blueprints/Preparations for Departure
First snow of winter takes me back
Back to the river
That flowed through the garden
The first I had known
And the bridge that washed away
Was rebuilt each year
I'm still building bridges today
But the rivers have grown

chorus
Actions of children
Who never thought twice
Soundtracks for living
Blueprints for life

I was there when the great ship
Crossed the ocean of night
Singing The Prisoner's song
Through the corridors I ran
How many years since landfall
Have I been singing?
And why, when the walls close in
Do I still run if I can?

chorus

I can't take you there
There's nothing there anymore to see
But there are echoes everywhere
Of someone who used to be me

I was there when the future was better
Than it is today
It once shone like a lighthouse
Guiding our minds
But now the tide has turned
Away from the vision
But some dreams are way too strong
For me to leave behind

chorus
