Mission (A World Record) [Alternative Mix]
I ready one day nigth
It's time to leave my planet Earth
For many days we traveled from a distant place and time
To reach a place they call the planet Earth
There was to be a celebration
On the mission of the sacred heart
The planet Earth from way up there is beautiful and blue
And floating softly through a rainbow
But when you touch down things look different here
At the mission of the sacred heart
Watching all the days roll by
Who are you and who am I?
And when the stars above
Lay hazy fingers down on me
On a dirty worn-out sidewalk, sits a mother with a baby
In her vale of tears she sees no rainbow
And someone's singing from a window
In the mission of the sacred heart
Watching all the days roll by
Who are you and who am I?
And when the stars above
Lay hazy fingers down on me
There's a building on a corner, in a city, in a land
On a place they call the planet Earth,
My orders are to sit here and watch the world go by,
From the mission of the sacred heart
Watching all the days roll by
Who are you and who am I?
Watching all the days roll by
Who are you and who am I?
How's life on Earth?
It's time to leave my planet Earth
For many days we traveled from a distant place and time
To reach a place they call the planet Earth
There was to be a celebration
On the mission of the sacred heart
The planet Earth from way up there is beautiful and blue
And floating softly through a rainbow
But when you touch down things look different here
At the mission of the sacred heart
Watching all the days roll by
Who are you and who am I?
And when the stars above
Lay hazy fingers down on me
On a dirty worn-out sidewalk, sits a mother with a baby
In her vale of tears she sees no rainbow
And someone's singing from a window
In the mission of the sacred heart
Watching all the days roll by
Who are you and who am I?
And when the stars above
Lay hazy fingers down on me
There's a building on a corner, in a city, in a land
On a place they call the planet Earth,
My orders are to sit here and watch the world go by,
From the mission of the sacred heart
Watching all the days roll by
Who are you and who am I?
Watching all the days roll by
Who are you and who am I?
How's life on Earth?
