- Great Leap Forward Lyrics / with translationsI jumped up like Apollo, crash landed on my feet
The sun shot like a laser through my brain
A little death had woken up and put a curse on me
But I knew that that I'd be coming back again
Inspiration, across the nation
There's a poverty of expectation
All I got to do was move ahead
It's a blue sky
It's a while cloud
It's a flame
It's a blue sky
White cloud
Burning flame
I shot back to the mirror, there was nothing left to see
But a phantom with his heartbeat deep inside
I could feel the dust of ages, they were blowing back at me
But I knew that I was born to get it right
It's a blue sky
It's a while cloud
It's a flame
It's a blue sky
White cloud
Burning flame
Everybody take the great leap forward
Everybody knows the mysteries that at hand
If you've been praying all those sweet days for this
Don't you know there is a whole different plan
Sometimes I hear the madman calling
He talks about some dark eternal place
I've been waiting all my lifetime for this moment
And now I've got to find some other ways
One touch ignites this eagle, one kiss for Heavens view
I need the flame so I can feel alive
You can tell my little brother, no requiem for me
I knew that I was born to make this flight
Inspiration, across the nation
There's a poverty of expectation
All I got to do was move ahead
It's a blue sky
It's a while cloud
It's a flame
It's a blue sky
White cloud
Burning flame
Everybody take the great leap forward
Everybody knows the mysteries that at hand
If you've been praying all those sweet days for this, darling
Don't you know there is a whole different plan
Sometimes I hear the madman calling
Every woman, every child, every man
I've been waiting all my lifetime for this moment
You know there's no turning back again
You know there's no turning back again
It's a blue sky
It's a while cloud
It's a burning flame
It's a blue sky
It's a while cloud
It's a burning flame
All I got to do was move ahead
All I got to do was move ahead
It's a blue sky
White cloud
It's a burning flame
All I got to do was move ahead
All I got to do was move ahead
It's a blue sky
White cloud
It's a burning flame
All I got to do was move ahead
All I got to do was move ahead
All I got to do was move ahead
...
The sun shot like a laser through my brain
