LIFE ON EARTH

Sky in the trees and birds and the bees Life on Earth is long Rivers and lakes and floods and earthquakes Life on Earth is long And, 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" And the girl in a cage with the moon in her eye Sings, "Life on Earth is long" And, oh, I might not meet you there To feel the breeze and breathe the air But it's in me, infinitely Monarchs in flight, dawn's early light Life on Earth is long And the sun in the west and the one you love best Life on Earth is long And, oh, I might not meet you there Spirit blinded by despair Oh, but the lightning strikes To illuminate the night And, oh, I might not meet you there Through galaxies of song and prayer I'll be lost in time Growing on a vine Egyptian spring and love in Beijing Life on Earth is long Life on Earth is long
