The Visitation

"Man has been looking at the stars for thousands of years
Today we know that the Earth is a mere speck in space"

We all watched in wonder as it floated down
Quietly it landed, barely made a sound
Then a door was opened and they all appeared
We were stunned in silence, pondering our fears

All the way here, they came all the way here
Would we be surprised if they told us why
All the way here, they came all the way here
We'd appreciate if they told no lies

For a moment, no one even said a word
Then they said, pardon the intrusion
This may sound absurd
We couldn't help but notice all of the unrest
Can you tell us why, cause we're holding our breath

All the way here, they came all the way here
Would they be surprised if we told them why
All the way here, they came all the way here
They'd appreciate if we told no lies
They'd appreciate if we told no lies
They'd appreciate if we told no lies

So we told them of greed and of the one percent
We spoke of corporations and the government
We explained religion and who stole the land
And they listened but they could not understand

All the way here, they came all the way here
Silently they flew back into the sky
All the way here, they came all the way here
We just stood and stared stars in our eyes
We just stood and stared stars in our eyes
We just stood and stared stars in our eyes
They couldn't understand, couldn't understand
