Every man has a place
In his heart there's a space
And the world can't erase his fantasies
Take a ride in the sky
On our ship fantasise
All your dreams will come true right away
And we will live together
Until the twelfth of never
Our voices will ring forever as one
Every thought is a dream
Rushing by in a stream
Bringing life to your kingdom of doing
Take a ride in the sky
On our ship fantasise
All your dreams will come true miles away
Our voices will ring together
Until the twelfth of never
We all will love together as one
Come to see victory
In a land called fantasy
Loving life a new degree
Bring your mind to everlasting liberty
As one
Come to see victory
In a land called fantasy
Loving life for you and me
To behold to your soul is ecstasy
You will find other kind
That has been in search of you
Many lives have brought you to
Recognise it's your life now in review
As you stay for the play
Fantasy has in store for you
A glowing light will see you through
It's your day shining day
All your dreams come true
As you glide in your stride
With the wind as you fly away
Give a smile from your lips and say
Are you free yes I'm free
And I'm on my way
In his heart there's a space
And the world can't erase his fantasies
Take a ride in the sky
On our ship fantasise
All your dreams will come true right away
And we will live together
Until the twelfth of never
Our voices will ring forever as one
Every thought is a dream
Rushing by in a stream
Bringing life to your kingdom of doing
Take a ride in the sky
On our ship fantasise
All your dreams will come true miles away
Our voices will ring together
Until the twelfth of never
We all will love together as one
Come to see victory
In a land called fantasy
Loving life a new degree
Bring your mind to everlasting liberty
As one
Come to see victory
In a land called fantasy
Loving life for you and me
To behold to your soul is ecstasy
You will find other kind
That has been in search of you
Many lives have brought you to
Recognise it's your life now in review
As you stay for the play
Fantasy has in store for you
A glowing light will see you through
It's your day shining day
All your dreams come true
As you glide in your stride
With the wind as you fly away
Give a smile from your lips and say
Are you free yes I'm free
And I'm on my way

While Maurice may have watched any number of Sci-Fi movies. The transition to the after life may take part in some form of a Heavenly ship. Certain Light it's self is refered to when one is leaving this life and going to the next (who's to say Light is not that ship)
Could the song possibly mean to enter the after life one must have faith, and is fantasy not an everlasting faith?
Maurice White was inspired to write this after watching Close Encounters of the Third Kind ("take a ride in the sky on a ship"), not after having some religious epiphany.
The song simply says that every achieved dream or aspiration has its beginning in fantasy, and not to take fantasy for granted. It's that simple.
How poor and empty our lives would be without the ability to dream, to believe, to imagine, to fantasize! Yet fantasy all relies on unrealism, on imaginations, on things, people, situations that aren't really there.
But maybe there's a connection here. You dream. I dream. We may dream the same, although we live in different worlds and live different lives, and maybe we don't appear to be similar on the outside. As Sting put it: "I hope the Russians love their children too' - of course they do. All Russians envision a better life for their children - just as we do. That's the connection, and we should put our hope there.
Each of us has a tiny little space on Planet Earth - yet each of us has a space, a mind, a life full of dreams, endless desires - and no one is going to take that away from us. Now don't be afraid to dream, to imagine a better life for yourself, your brother, your sister, your children. It's the fantasy that will enrich your *real* life.
Now read the first verse again.
but that wouldnt play well on the 70's radio stations..
Every man has a place
In his heart there's a space
And the world can't erase his fantasies
Take a ride in the sky (GOING TO HEAVEN)
On our ship fantasise
All your dreams will come true right away
And we will live together (NEVER DIE IN HEAVEN)
Until the twelfth of never
Our voices will ring forever as one
Come to see victory (LOTS OF SONGS AND HYMNALS DESCRIBE VICTORY IN HEAVEN)
In a land called fantasy
Loving life a new degree
Bring your mind to everlasting liberty
Come to see victory
In a land called fantasy
Loving life for you and me
To behold to your soul is ecstasy (YOUR SOUL , NOT BODY, GOES TO HEAVEN)
You will find other kind
That has been in search of you (OLD FAMILY MEMBERS THAT HAS PASSED MEET YOU IN HEAVEN)
Many lives have brought you to
Recognise it's your life now in review (WHEN YOU DIE YOU SEE YOUR LIFE IN REVIEW AND ARE JUDGED)
As you stay for the play
Fantasy has in store for you
A glowing light will see you through (GOD IS A GLOWING LIGHT SHINING DOWN)
It's your day shining day (ALSO A SHINING DAY, AS YOU GET TO HEAVEN)
All your dreams come true (EVERYTHING IS PERFECT AND DREAMS COME TRUE IN HEAVEN)
As you glide in your stride
With the wind as you fly away (YOU FLY AWAY ON WINGS IN HEAVEN)
Give a smile from your lips and say
Are you free yes I'm free
And I'm on my way (ON YOUR WAY TO HEAVEN)
just replace the word fantasy with heaven in this song and you will
see what i mean.. i really believe it started as a church/faith
based song but the lyrics were changed for the radio and acceptance..
any other ideas?
