“Now we're busy making all our busy plans
On foundations built to last.
But nothing fades as fast as the future
And 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.”

—  Peter Gabriel
