More Than This - Peter Gabriel, The Polyphonic Spree

I woke up and the world outside was dark

All so quiet before the dawn

Opened up the door and walked outside

The ground was cold

I walked until i couldn’t walk anymore

To a place i’d never been

There was something stirring in the air

In front of me, i could see

More than this

More than this

So much more than this

There is something else there

When all that you had has all gone

And more than this

I stand

Feeling so connected

And i’m all there

Right next to you

It started when i saw the ship go down

I saw them struggle in the sea

And suddenly the picture disappears

In front of me Now we’re busy making all our busy plans

On foundations built to last

But nothing fades as fast as the future

And nothing clings like the past, until we can see

More than this

More than this

So much more than this

There is something out there

More than this

It’s coming through

And more than this

I stand alone and so connected

And I’m all there

Right next to you

Oh then it’s alright

When with every day another bit falls away

Oh but it’s still alright, alright, alright

And like words together we can make some sense

Much more than this

Way beyond imagination

Much more than this

Beyond the stars

With my head so full

So full of fractured pictures

And i’m all there

Right next to you

So much more than this

There is something else there

When all that you had has all gone

And more than this

I’m alone

Feeling so connected

And i’m all there right next to you

More than this

More than this

More than this
