Thousands of miles without moving
|
In the silence and stillness we're turning
|
Who scattered the stars in the field of night?
|
Say it's all right, say it's all right,
|
Well say it's all right.
|
|
Ocean storm-thrown boats collide
|
With waves of no direction
|
With compass set up on a star
|
Head for the port's protection.
|
|
Faster than light we're not ageing,
|
So where does the time go we're saving?
|
Give me a sermon for sleep tonight
|
Won't you say it's all right, say it's all right,
|
Well say it's all right.
|
|
And the driftwood it collides
|
With blind boats on the water
|
Oh, sad I watched the moon fall down,
|
But the river safely caught her.
|
|
Confusion of stars where's the pattern
|
To chart us away from collision?
|
We are dust, we are spark, we were light before dark
|
It was all right, it is all right,
|
And it'll be all right.
|
|
Above, below, worlds collide
|
In the before and after
|
Oh happy to watch the sun go down
|
And join the angels' laughter.
|
