LIFE ON EARTH
Sky in the trees and
the birds and the bees,
Life on Earth is long.
Rivers and lakes and
floods and earthquakes,
Life on Earth is long.
Oh I might not meet you there,
leaving it beyond repair.
Won't you hold me?
So I can see.
The man in the mask
at the desk with a flask,
sings
Life on Earth is long.
The girl in a cage with
the moon in her eye
sings
Life on Earth is long.
Oh I might not meet you there,
To feel the breeze and breathe the air.
But it's in me, Infinitely.
Monarchs in flight,
The dawn's early light.
Life on Earth is long.
The sun in the west and
the one you love best,
Life on Earth is long.
Oh I might not meet you there,
spirit blinded by despair.
But the lightening strikes
to illuminate the night.
Oh I might not meet you there,
through galaxies of
song and prayer,
I'll be lost in time and
growing on a vine.
Egyptian Spring and
Love in Beijing,
Life on Earth is long.

This song must be preserved as the legacy of Mankind for all time. It should be recorded on titanium, placed in a spaceship, taken to the entire Universe. It is a masterpiece of immeasurable beauty, a true inspiration.
