"We are both men out of time."

Far beyond the world I've known, far beyond my time
What am I, who am I, what will I be?

Where am I going and what will I see?
Searching my mind for some truths to reveal
What thoughts are fantasy, what memories real?

What was there, who cared to make it begin?
Is it forever or will it all end?
Searching my past for the things that I've seen
Is it my life or just something I dreamed?
