Kansas - Taking in the view

The world began to change the children moved and they had children It was all arranged you couldn't live there anymore All you had was that old place in the middle of the path of progress So they took the space and put the ceiling on the floor In one of the rooms all the walls were blue It was hidden so well that no one knew Just the place for taking in the view The view of the sea crisp and clear and never ending There your soul ran free there you spirit soared The view took you away to the boundaries of imagination Back to yesterday back to once before In one of the rooms all the walls were blue A mysterious space without a clue Just the place for taking in the view Long lives need no fortune Hard lives need no fame Young lives seek their freedom And old lives seek the same The world began to change and without a word of explanation Something very strange started beckoning to you When they came to move your things you had packed a suitcase full of memories Nothing else to bring except a different point of view In one of the rooms all the walls were blue A mysterious space without a clue Just the place for taking in the view
