Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Nine planets around the sun
Only one does the sun embrace
Upon this watered one
So much we take for granted
So let us sleep outside tonight
Lay down in our mother's arms
For here we can rest safely
[Verse 2]
If green should turn to gray
Would our hearts still bloody beat?
If the mountain tumble away
Rivers dry, would it stop the stepping feet?
[Verse 3]
Oh, let us sleep outside tonight
Lay down in our mother's arms
For here we can rest safely
Why, yes, we can
[Verse 4]
Take all that we can get
When it's done
Nobody left to bury here
Nobody left to dig the holes
And here we can rest safely
Why, yes, we can
[Verse 5]
One sweet world
Around this star is spinning
One sweet world
And in her breath I'm swimming
And here I will rest in peace
[Verse 6]
Ooh, we could run
Say, guess where my head went?
Movin' everyone in circles, yeah
With only worries, and we're sorry 'bout it
And we go hurryin' along, and both dance, yeah
My, my, my hands are open
Always, always
Oh, and again, they
