Into The Picture Lyrics by Johnny Clegg

New World Survivor

0

[Verse 1]
Mercy in bondage
In the final war for peace
Peasants, rebels, outcasts
Citizens' police
This crazy century
And a dazzling frontier
And the shameless guilt of the domain of the world
And the genocide of innocence
Hackers, slackers, generation-X backpackers
Tribesmen and rockstars on silicone screens
Virtual emotions, digital dreams
Rushing for tomorrow where the future used to be
[Chorus]
I see the picture
I feel strong
I see the river
Flowing on
Do you see the picture?
Do you feel strong?
Do you see the river?
Flowing on and on and on?
[Verse 2]
I've been waiting for what you're waiting for
I've been knocking at the same door
I want to know what
We have become
I want to touch your face, I want to get a sense of place
Before we step out into the sun
Blue electric oceans
Information streams
Webs and nets in motion
Connecting you and me
[Chorus]
Do you see the picture?
(I see the picture)
Do you feel strong?
(I feel strong)
Do you see the river?
(I see the river,)
Flowing on
(Flowing on)
Into the system
(I see the picture)
Into the light
(I feel strong)
Into tomorrow
(I see the river,)
Into the light
(Flowing on)
Into the tomorrow
(I see the picture)
Into the future
(I feel strong)
Into the system
(I see the river,)
Into the light
(Flowing on)
Into the future
(I see the picture)
Into the light
(I feel strong)
Into the system
(I see the river,)
Into the light
(Flowing on)
