Ch 17: There's So Much More (The Zeppelin)

[Verse 1] I started down the mountainside With sunlight dancing on the stone The valleys stretched beneath the sky And every road looked like a home The smoke still rose below the summit The cave still shimmered in the dawn And all the world seemed stitched together By the paths I'd travelled on [Pre-Chorus] I thought the mountain held the ending I thought the journey's song was sung The pilot smiled and shook his head “No, son... You've only just begun.” [Chorus] There's so much moooore! Than the things you've come to see So much moooore! Than the man you used to be Every road that's brought you here Opens up another door Just when you think you've reached the end There's so much more [Verse 2] The brasswork flashed like liquid fire The canvas billowed in the wind She sailed as though the sky belonged to her And always had, and always will A rope ladder came tumbling downward Swinging wildly in the breeze And from the deck a laughing pilot called “Still looking for guarantees?” [Pre-Chorus] “You've climbed a mountain, well done, traveller You've learnt a thing or two, that's true But every answer worth discovering Will leave more left to do” He laughed and tipped his hat and said “Son... There is so much more.” [Chorus] There's so much moooore! Than the things you've come to see So much moooore! Than the man you used to be Every road that's brought you here Opens up another door Just when you think you've reached the end There's so much more [Bridge] I climbed aboard and looked behind me The mountain shining in the day Then watched it slowly drift beneath us As the airship turned away Below were roads through Rumour's waters And shores I'd wandered long before The Ministry, the Isles, the valleys All connected evermore What seemed a hundred separate journeys What seemed a thousand twists of fate From high above became a picture Far more beautiful and great [Pre-Chorus] The pilot spread a map before me Beyond the places that I'd known Every edge became a doorway Every road led further on Then he pointed to the rising sun And quietly he said “Good. Now you're finally ready.” [Final Chorus] There's so much moooore! Than the things you've come to see So much moooore! Than the man you used to be Every road that's brought you here Opens up another door Just when you think you've reached the end There's so much more There's so much moooore! Beyond the mountains, past the sea So much moooore! Than you've ever dared believe Every ending starts a journey Every answer leaves a clue And the world is so much bigger Than the world you thought you knew [Outro] I asked him where the ship was going He smiled but never turned his head Then pointed to a map beside him Where roads I'd never travelled spread Beyond the mountain stood another Beyond that mountain several more And far beyond the edge of seeing Were lands I'd never heard before Then with a grin he tapped one corner And for a moment I could see Somebody drawing me... Somebody drawing me... [Blackout]
