Fate's Wide Wheel
This is so funny... I was going to ask this very question a few days ago, and then I decided to try looking it up. I, too, found a few things that contradicted each other. It amazed me that quite a few people think the last line says, "Oh please, let there be one, a final leave."
(Makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, but go figure. They obviously didn't realize the song is about QUANTUM LEAP! "Final Leap")
After discussing it with MJ, this is what we both agreed on:
As I travel in space and time
I want to stay; I want to go
You see my face, but it?s not mine
What you can?t see, you?ll never know
How can we meet, if I?m not there?
Our hearts may touch, our bodies close
But time divides what we might share
And sends us somewhere no one goes
I?m just a traveler, upon the sea
Of time, of life, of Fate?s Wide Wheel
Just a traveler, in this mystery
The me I am, is all that?s real to me
We all begin this life alone
We live; we love, all through the years
Yet deep inside, we long for home
But it recedes, obscured by tears
I cry for time, it falls past me
The door of faith remains asleep
But in my soul, this hope burns free
Oh, please let there be one final leap
I?m just a traveler, upon the sea
Of time, of life, of Fate?s Wide Wheel
Just a traveler, in this mystery
The me I am, is all that?s real to me
The me I am, is all that?s real to me
That seems to make the most sense to me. Hope that helps too!
