Johnny Clegg Into the Picture song lyrics

Mercy in bondage

In the final war for peace

Peasants, rebels, outcasts

Citizens' police

This crazy century

and a dazzling frontier

And the shameless guilt of the domain of the world

And the genocide of innocence

Hackers, slackers, generation-X backpackers

Tribesmen and rockstars on silicone screens

Virtual emotions, digital dreams

Rushing for tomorrow where the future used to be

{Refrain:}

I see the picture

I feel strong

I see the river

Flowing on

+

Do you see the picture?

Do you feel strong?

Do you see the river

Flowing on and on and on?

I've been waiting for what you're waiting for

I've been knocking at the same door.

I want to know what

We have become.

I want to touch your face, I want to get a sense of place

Before we step out into the sun.

Blue electric oceans

Information streams

Webs and nets in motion

Connecting you and me...
