Portrait (he Knew)' Lyrics - Point Of Know Return - Kansas

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, Oh 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, 

Oh where was he going to? 

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 

Oh, 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?
