Текст The Manhattan Transfer – First Ascent

Climbin’ high, reachin’ wide, makin’ strides
We are all travellin’ on our way towards a fate all our own
Breakin’ times, new designs, from the source of our minds
Echoing what the future unfolds

Here we go we’re travellin’
Movin’ faster, higher than ever before
Yes we’re now far reachin’ it
And we’re breakin’ new ground doin’ it
Steady goin’ when non have ventured before
Einstein went and figured it
Movin’ faster, passin’ the speed of light did it
And we’re doin’ it
Breakin’ the code that the gods held from us
As we venture and we open the doors
Thought ascend, we unfold

From the source of being
Comes a light we have and hold
Older than the relics of Babylon have to tell us and
We stand upon all the strong shoulders of our history
Towards our destiny, and the precious memory of our spirit

Here we go we’re travellin’
Movin’ faster, higher than ever before
Yes we’re now far reachin’ it
And we’re breakin’ new ground doin’ it
Steady goin’ when non have ventured before
Just like Armstrong Eagled it
Steppin’, slidin’, buzzin’ with Buzz on the moon did it
And we’re doin’ it
Seein’ what the gods up on Mars left to us
As we venture and we open the doors

From God’s livin’ spirit
Comes a love that’s ours to own
Older than Upanashads tried to show us
And we shine aside all the bright star lights of the galaxies
Towards infinity and the living light that dwells in our spirit

Thought ascended, we unfold
