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.
