If I could see earth from outer space,
|
through all of the stars to the human race,
|
to all of the people and the streets that I once knew.
|
If I could see earth from outer space,
|
through all of the stars to the human race,
|
no matter where I go I still come back to you.
|
|
If I could fly, fly, fly, so high, so high.
|
Higher than the clouds, even higher than the sky.
|
Zoom, zoom, and in the palm and world rollin by.
|
Would I see people in the cities and the villages and squares,
|
sellin in the market places, dancin everywhere?
|
Would I see ladies in the beauty parlor doin hair,
|
and teenage soldiers with their guns up in the air?
|
Would I see a hit list of the species that are gone,
|
or would I be a witness to the world droppin bombs?
|
Would I see the rain for amazon where the whole world sing one song?
|
|
If I could see earth from outer space,
|
through all of the stars to the human race,
|
to all of the people and the streets that I once knew.
|
If I could see earth from outer space,
|
through all of the stars to the human race,
|
no matter where I go I still come back to you, to you.
|
No matter where I go I still come back to you.
|
|
So let me hear you say (na na na na na),
|
woah oh (na na na na na).
|
And let me hear you say (na na na na na).
|
Break it down for me now.
|
|
Okay, I've been tryin, I've been tryin, I've been tryin, I've been tryin.
|
That's the truth without the lyin, I just do without the dyin.
|
I've been movin, I've been movin outer space so I've been losing everybody
|
that I love and they excuse is they just human.
|
And I've been learning how to breathe, learnin how to see.
|
Heart in the clouds, but don't know how to dream.
|
Evidently, your grass is green. I wish I had a personality.
|
If I was down on earth, I would sing..
|
|
If I could see earth from outer space,
|
through all of the stars to the human race,
|
to all of the people and the streets that I once knew.
|
If I could see earth from outer space,
|
through all of the stars to the human race,
|
no matter where I go I still come back to you, to you.
|
No matter where I go I still come back to you.
|
|
I like to see your planet, every boombox boomin.
|
I like to see your planet, every flower be bloomin.
|
I like to see your planet so the clouds refuelin.
|
I like to see your planet, every human stay human.
|
I don't know, but I know just one thing's for sure.
|
If I saw this, I'd still come back for more.
|
|
If I could see earth from outer space,
|
through all of the stars to the human race,
|
to all of the people and the streets that I once knew.
|
If I could see earth from outer space,
|
through all of the stars to the human race,
|
no matter where I go I still come back to you, to you.
|
No matter where I go I still come back to you.
|
|
So let me hear you say (na na na na na),
|
still come back to you (na na na na na),
|
still come back to you.
|
No matter where I go (na na na na na),
|
still come back to you (na na na na n),
|
still come back to you (na na na na n),
|
still come back to you (na na na na n),
|
still come back to you.
