Portrait (He Knew)

He had a thousand ideas, you might have heard his name
 He lived alone with his vision
 Not looking for fortune or fame
 Never said too much to speak of
 He was off on another plane
 The words that he said were a mystery
 Nobody's sure he was sane
 But he knew, he knew more than me or you
 No one could see his view, where was he going to
 He was in search of an answer
 The nature of what we are
 He was trying to do it a new way
 He was bright as a star
 But nobody understood him
 His numbers are not the way
 He's lost in the deepest enigma
 Which no one's unraveled today
 But he knew, he knew more than me or you
 No one could see his view, oh, where was he going to?
 And he tried, but before he could tell us he died
 When he left us the people cried
 Where was he going to?
 Oh!
 ♪
 He had a different idea
 A glimpse of the master plan
 He could see into the future
 A true visionary man
 But there's something he never told us
 It died when he went away
 If only he could have been with us
 No telling what he might say
 But he knew, he knew more than me or you
 No one could see his view
 Where was he going to?
 But he knew, you could tell by the picture he drew
 It was totally something new
 Oh, where was he going to?
 Oow!
