For many days we traveled 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? Livin' on the earth, livin' on the earth, livin' on the earth, livin' on the earth Well all the stars above where I see fingers down on me Livin' on the earth, livin' on the earth, livin' on the earth, livin' 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 singing 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? Livin' on the earth, livin' on the earth, livin' on the earth, livin' on the earth And when the stars above where I see fingers down on me Livin' on the earth, livin' on the earth, livin' on the earth, livin' 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 From 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?
