Of A Lifetime Lyrics
The mist is slowly lifting
The sound of life misplaced your mind
You're sitting, spellbound thru out time
I hope that you remember what you find
Singin' more of a lifetime
You put it down-all that I'm thinking
but take a long and distant search, when all is right
you take for granted
You can't look down but you're no worse.
Singin' more of a lifetime
The countless visions that are drifting
The silver dreams you hate to lose.
There's no harm. We've all been waiting.
well keep your faith. Do what you choose.
Singin' more of a lifetime
The sound of life misplaced your mind
You're sitting, spellbound thru out time
I hope that you remember what you find
Singin' more of a lifetime
but take a long and distant search, when all is right
you take for granted
You can't look down but you're no worse.
Singin' more of a lifetime
The silver dreams you hate to lose.
There's no harm. We've all been waiting.
well keep your faith. Do what you choose.
Singin' more of a lifetime

BEST. JOURNEY. SONG. EVER. This song is sooooo underrated. With Gregg Rolie's keyboard playing and Neal Schon's jazzy rock style guitar with long solos and melodic riffs, and finally the overall space-rock feel of the song, it is truly an unknown masterpiece. It leaves me breathless and I feel as if I live a whole lifetime through it every time I hear it......I think ill go listen to it now....(:
couldn't have put it better myself.

Truly Journey's masterpiece - and the first song on their first album too.

The solos at the end are mesmerising. Nothing comes close to this.

Feels like I'm on a ride through the constellations whenever I hear it.

What a beautiful spellbinding song......
And the lyrics a wrong. It's not "singing more of a lifetime" it just "singing of a lifetime". Please fix this!!!!!:)
Please correct the lyrics Dude!
I bought this debut LP in 1975. I was 21 could not quit listening to this song. So great probably Greg Rollie's best vocals and keys ever & Schon are the guitar up. Why is this song and LP so completely ignored for 47 years?! I can't get enough of it! I thought when Steve Perry was added in 77 or 78 and they had both Rollie and Perry on vocals they were great. You know Rollie was the vocalist in Santana's 'Black Magic Woman'. Wow! And Schon played guitar in Santana at age 17! Imo Cain can't/couldn't hold a candle to Rollie!.Cain is a very good songwriter tho. Steve Smith was not drummer #Aynsley Dunbar. There is a live version of this in YouTube from Osaka with Steve Smith drums pre Steve Perry. Filmed in 1980. It's even better than LP version! I highly recommend checking it out.
