Portrait II

He had a different idea, you might have heard his name
He gave us all a new vision, not looking for fortune or fame
His works were a wonder to speak of, his thoughts on another plane
The words that he said were a mystery, no one was 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?
And he knew, you could tell by the picture he drew
It was totally something new, oh, where was he going to?

He said that he was the answer, the only one near or far
He was trying to show us a new way, he was bright as a star
But nobody understood him, they said he was not the way
They were lost in the deepest enigma, that few have unraveled today

But he knew, knew what he had to do
Those who belived him were few, oh, what would he have us do?
And he died, so that justice was satisfied
When he left us the people cried, oh, where was he going to?

He had a different idea, the master knew the plan
He could see into the future, a true visionary man
The truth is all that he told us, he died but he lives again
He will return to be with us, but who will be ready then?

'cause he knew, all about me and you
All of his words were true, oh, where was he going to?
Yes he knew, you could tell by the picture he drew
It was totally something new, oh, help us to follow you

Retrato II

Ele tinha uma ideia diferente, você pode ter ouvido o nome dele
Ele nos deu uma nova visão, sem buscar fortuna ou fama
Suas obras eram uma maravilha de se falar, seus pensamentos em outro plano
As palavras que ele disse eram um mistério, ninguém tinha certeza se ele estava são

Mas ele sabia, sabia mais do que eu ou você
Ninguém conseguia ver sua visão, oh, pra onde ele estava indo?
E ele sabia, dava pra ver pela imagem que ele desenhou
Era totalmente algo novo, oh, pra onde ele estava indo?

Ele disse que era a resposta, o único perto ou longe
Ele estava tentando nos mostrar um novo caminho, brilhava como uma estrela
Mas ninguém o entendia, diziam que ele não era o caminho
Estavam perdidos no enigma mais profundo, que poucos desvendaram hoje

Mas ele sabia, sabia o que tinha que fazer
Aqueles que acreditavam nele eram poucos, oh, o que ele queria que fizéssemos?
E ele morreu, para que a justiça fosse satisfeita
Quando ele nos deixou, o povo chorou, oh, pra onde ele estava indo?

Ele tinha uma ideia diferente, o mestre sabia do plano
Ele podia ver o futuro, um verdadeiro homem visionário
A verdade é tudo que ele nos contou, ele morreu, mas vive de novo
Ele voltará para estar conosco, mas quem estará pronto então?

Porque ele sabia, tudo sobre mim e você
Todas as suas palavras eram verdade, oh, pra onde ele estava indo?
Sim, ele sabia, dava pra ver pela imagem que ele desenhou
Era totalmente algo novo, oh, ajude-nos a te seguir
