Text: The Alan Parsons Project. Inside Looking Out.

To touch the sky a dreamer must be
Someone who has more imagination than me
To reach the stars a dreamer must fly
Somehow he must live more of a lifetime than I
For sands of time won't wait and it may be too late

Now is the hour and the moment
Don't let the chance go by
Your ship is sailing with the high tide
And all your dreams are on the inside

On the inside looking out
On the inside looking out
Looking out, looking out
Looking out, looking out

To change the world a dreamer must be
Someone who has more determination than me
To free his soul, a dreamer must fly
Somewhere he must find a better reason than I
The hands of time won't wait and we may be too late

Now is the hour and the moment
Don't let a day pass by
Your ship is sailing with the high tide
You could be standing on the inside

On the inside looking out
On the inside looking out
On the inside looking out
On the inside looking out
Looking out, looking out
Looking out, looking out, looking out
