Windows

Kansas · Complete Albums Collection [2011]

Windows, to the world are what we're looking through

Who knows, if what we find is true

Seeing, is believing as some people say

Knowing, is to get a better view



(Chorus)

For the windows of the world

Are never open all the way

And the voices of the past

Are not forgotten

Till you leave it all behind you

You will never see the day

'Cause your life is on the line



Tasting, of the wine of some forbidden fruit

Reaping, the sorrows that we sow

Reaching, to the stars will never bring us home

Teaching, what we really could not know



(Chorus)



Touching, we are moving to the things we feel

Trying, to be what we could never be

Turning, if we'd only open up our hearts

Yearning, for the things we cannot see



(Chorus)
