He has 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,/Nobodys
sure he was sane.
(l tiene mil ideas, podrs haber odo su nombre,/l vivi solo con su visin/
Sin buscar fortuna ni fama./Nunca deca nada acerca de qu hablar,/l estaba
lejos en otro avin./Las palabras que l deca eran un misterio,/Nadie estaba
seguro si l estaba cuerdo).
But he knew, he knew more than me or you,/No one could see his view,/Oh,
where was he going to?
(Pero l saba, l saba ms que yo o usted,/Nadie poda ver su visin,/Oh,
adnde se diriga?)
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 was lost in the deepest enigma,/That no one
unraveled today.
(l estaba en busca de una respuesta,/La naturaleza de lo que somos./l estaba tratando de hacerlo de una nueva manera./l era brillante como una estrella/Pero nadie lo entenda./Sus nmeros no son la manera,/l estaba perdido en el enigma ms profundo/Que nadie ha develado hoy).
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, Oh,/where was he going to?
(Pero l saba, l saba ms que yo o usted,/Nadie poda ver su visin, Oh,
adnde se diriga?/Y l intent, pero antes que pudiera decirlo a nosotros,
muri./Cuando l nos dej, la gente lloraba, Oh,/adnde se diriga?)

He had a different idea,/A glimpse of the master plan,/He could see into
the future,/The true visionary man,/But theres 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.
(l tena una idea diferente,/Una vista fugaz del plan maestro./l poda
ver dentro del futuro,/El hombre verdaderamente visionario./Pero hay
algo que nunca nos dijo,/Eso muri cuando l se fue lejos./Si l estuviera con nosotros,/No se puede revelar lo que l podra decir).
But he knew, he knew more than me or you,/No one could see his view,
Oh, where he was going to?/But he knew, you could tell by the picture
he drew,/It was totally something new, Oh,/where was he going to?
(Pero l saba, l saba ms que yo o usted,/Nadie poda ver su visin, Oh,
adnde se diriga?/Pero l saba, usted poda adivinarlo por la imagen
que dibuj/Que eso era algo totalmente nuevo, Oh, adnde se diriga?).

Ab antiquo,/Ab integro,/Audi, vide,/Tace si vis vivere in pace.
(Ms all de la antigedad,/Ms all de la integridad,/Oye, ve,/Qudate quieto si quieres vivir en paz).
Why men cannot also fly?/Were chained down to the earth,/Not like birds
in the sky,/Soaring from birth,/Devices of destruction, devices of death,/Find
out their construction,/Give them life, give them breath.
(Por qu los hombres no podemos tambin volar?/Estamos encadenados a
la tierra,/No como los pjaros en el cielo/Remontando desde el nacimiento./
Dispositivos de destruccin, Dispositivos de muerte,/Descubra su construccin,/Deles vida, deles aliento).
Which God may I thank/Making art from a canvas blank/Paintings from the
holy book/Depicting Christ and the chance he took,/Oh, tell me.
(A qu Dios podra agradecer?/Haciendo arte desde un lienzo en blanco./Pinturas desde el libro sagrado,/Retratando a Cristo y la oportunidad que l tom,/
Oh, dime).
When will you ever learn/the true depths of my work./Future is my concern,/
You know art is my church.
(Cundo aprender/las verdaderas profundidades de mi obra?/El futuro es
mi preocupacin,/Usted sabe que el arte es mi iglesia).
Gaze inside the quest of man,/And find a new machine,/I learn everything I
can,/Dig it up. Cut it clean,/Always tried my very best,/To find what lies within,/Put myself to the test,/Judge me not, its not a sin.
(Contemple dentro de la bsqueda del hombre/Y encuentre una nueva mquina./Aprendo todo lo que puedo,/Lo desentierro, lo corto al ras./Siempre intent hacer lo mejor/Para encontrar lo que yace dentro./Me pongo a mi mismo a
prueba,/No me juzgue, no es un pecado).

Which God may I thank/Making art from a canvas blank,/Paintings from the
holy book/Depicting Christ and the chance he took,/Oh, tell me,/When will
you ever learn/The true depths of my work/Future is my concern,/You know
art is my church,/When Im dead and Im gone/Will you remember me?/Ive
seen beyond the sun/Reinventing machines.
