    This band was so talented it is crazy. They had a run of albums in the 70's where every song was good or great. Musicianship, vocals and lyrics.

    Kansas is tough band. I saw drummer Phil Ehart and he can tear it up 🔥 also check out “Dust in the Wind” nothing but vocals, guitars, and strings (they got a catalog is what I’m sayin’)

    Songwriter Kerry Livgren says this song is about Albert Einstein(some think it is about Tesla).
    Kerry Livgren has a solo version of the song with the lyrics changed to be about Jesus, with a different arrangement and a flute instead of a violin
    RIP Robby Steinhardt, Kansas violinist

    I always assumed that it was about Jesus. I didn't learn until well into adulthood that it was about Einstein. Kerry Livgren, the writer, said that so many people assumed it was about Jesus that he resurrected the song on a solo album years later and changed the lyrics a bit to make it about Jesus.

      This version is about Albert Einstein, but Livgren did rewrite a version for his band AD that was about Christ.
