Lyrics

This is Yreffej Ennyl calling you from planet Earth For many days we travelled 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? How's life on Earth? (Living on the Earth, living on the Earth Living on the Earth, living on the Earth) When all the stars above lay icy fingers down on me (Living on the Earth, living on the Earth Living on the Earth, living on the Earth) On a dirty, worn-out sidewalk sits a mother with a baby In her vale of tears she sees no rainbow And someone's singin' from a window In the Mission of the Sacred Heart Watching all the days roll by Who are you and who am I? How's life on Earth? (Living on the Earth, living on the Earth Living on the Earth, living on the Earth) And when the stars above lay icy fingers down on me (Living on the Earth, living on the Earth Living on the Earth, living on the Earth) 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 At 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? What is it worth?
