From Way Up Here
NORMAN WHITFIELD
From way up here the earth looks very small
It's just a little ball of
Rock and sea and sand no bigger than my hand
From way up here the earth looks very small
They shouldn't fight at all
Down there upon that little sphere
Their time is short, a life is just a day
You think they'd find a way
You think they'd get along
And fill their sunlit days with song
From way up here the earth is very small
It's just a little ball, so small
So beautiful and dear
Their time is short, a life is just a day
Must be a better way
To use the time that runs
Among the distant suns
From way up here the earth is very small
It's just a little ball, so small
So beautiful and dear
