Kansas - Taking In The View lyrics

It was all arranged you couldn't live there anymore

All you had was that old place in the middle of the path of progress

So they took the space and put the ceiling on the floor

In one of the rooms all the walls were blue

It was hidden so well that no one knew

Just the place for taking in the view

The view of the sea crisp and clear and never ending

There your soul ran free there you spirit soared

The view took you away to the boundaries of imagination

Back to yesterday back to once before

In one of the rooms all the walls were blue

A mysterious space without a clue

Just the place for taking in the view

Long lives need no fortune

Hard lives need no fame

Young lives seek their freedom

And old lives seek the same

The world began to change and without a word of explanation

Something very strange started beckoning to you

When they came to move your things you had packed a suitcase full of memories

Nothing else to bring except a different point of view

In one of the rooms all the walls were blue

A mysterious space without a clue

Just the place for taking in the view
