Fool's Overture

Supertramp Supertramp

History recalls how great the fall can be
While everybody's sleeping, the boats put out to sea
Born on the wings of time
It seemed the answers were so easy to find
Too late, the prophets cry
The island's sinking, let's take to the sky

Called the man a fool, striped him of his pride
Oh, everyone was laughing up until the day he died
And though the wound went deep
Still he's calling us out of our sleep
My friends, we're not alone
He waits in silence to lead us all home

So you tell me that you find it hard to grow
Well I know, I know, I know
And you tell me that you've many seeds to sow
Well I know, I know, I know

Can you hear what I'm saying?
Can you see the parts that I'm playing?
Holy man, rocker man, come on, Queenie
Joker Man, Spider Man, blue eyed Meanie
So you found your solution
What will be your last contribution?
Live it up, rip it up, why so lazy?
Give it out, dish it out, let's go crazy
Yeah!
