From way up here the earth looks very small,
It's just a little ball of rock and sea and sand,
No bigger than my hand.
From way up here the earth looks very small,
They shouldn't fight at all
down there upon that little sphere.
Their time is short, a life is just a day,
You think they'd find a way.
You think they'd get along
and fill their sunlit days with song.
From way up here the earth is very small,
It's just a little ball, so small, so beautiful and dear.
Their time is short, a life is just a day,
Must be a better way
To use the time that runs among the distant suns.
From way up here the earth is very small,
It's just a little ball, so small, so beautiful and dear.
It's just a little ball of rock and sea and sand,
No bigger than my hand.
From way up here the earth looks very small,
They shouldn't fight at all
down there upon that little sphere.
Their time is short, a life is just a day,
You think they'd find a way.
You think they'd get along
and fill their sunlit days with song.
From way up here the earth is very small,
It's just a little ball, so small, so beautiful and dear.
Their time is short, a life is just a day,
Must be a better way
To use the time that runs among the distant suns.
From way up here the earth is very small,
It's just a little ball, so small, so beautiful and dear.
