More Than This Songtext
von Peter Gabriel

I woke up and the world outside was dark
All so quiet before the dawn
Opened up the door and walked outside
The ground was cold

I walked until I couldn′t walk anymore
To a place I'd never been
There was something stirring in the air
In front of me, I could see

More than this
More than this

So much more than this
There is something else there
When all that you had has all gone
And more than this, I stand
Feeling so connected
And I′m all there right next to you


It started when I saw the ship go down
I saw them struggle in the sea
And suddenly, the picture disappears
In front of me

Now, we're busy making all our busy plans
On foundations built to last
But nothing fades as fast as the future
Nothing clings like the past, until we can see

More than this
More than this

So much more than this
There is something out there
More than this, it's coming through
And more than this, I stand
Alone and so connected
And I′m all there right next to you

Oh, then, it′s alright
When with every day, another bit falls away
Oh, but it's still alright, alright, alright
Like words together, we can make some sense


Much more than this
Way beyond imagination
Much more than this, beyond the stars
With my head so full
So full of fractured pictures
And I′m all there right next to you

So much more than this
There is something else there
When all that you had has all gone
And more than this, I'm alone
But feeling so connected
And I′m all there right next to you

More than this
More than this
More than this
More than this

More than this
More than this
More than this, more than this
More than this

More than this
More than this
More than this
More than this
