Another World - Abbey Lincoln

Within some walls of stone

Another world is waiting for it’s own

Another time, another world, another world

The magic that is shown

Is or for another world

Dimensions still unknown

Beyond the pale, horizoned veil

A world unknown

A technologic sphere

With tones and music’s chords to hear

For conversations far away

With ships that fly and lights that play

The years that come and go

Are bringing us another world to know

Maybe a laugh, perhaps a frown

A way to go, a common ground, another world

Another time has come

Another world is here to meet the sun

A digit here, a circle there, a life to share

Another time is here

Another dawn that whispers in my ears

A different sound, a point of view, a shade of blue

The strangest thing to see

Are things with you and me

Lost somewhere in the night

A song of love, the guiding light

A time has come and gone

Some memories are captured in a song

Some stories told, an artist’s hand

Something to find among the sand

Something to hold, remembering

Another world, another world, another world
