Earth Town Square şarkı sözleri

Once, we were lonely islands Divided by horizons A hundred thousand tribes surviving, scattered far and wide Hearing only stories Of distant territories Peering out across the miles between our shorelines Then, we harnessed nature's forces Straddled backs of horses Waging wars and crossing borders as our numbers grew We bought and sold and traded Oceans were navigated And fates entwined by rails and roads and telephones, and soon We cracked the code of flight Spoke via satellite at the speed of light, and Now, it's feeling like a small town With six billion people downtown At a little sidewalk fair In Earth Town Square There are Germans selling Audis Filled with gasoline from Saudis To Australians sipping Kenyan coffee in their Chinese shoes Argentines are meeting Mongols Over french fries at MacDonald's And the place looks strangely tiny when you see it from the moon And there's music in the park, kalimbas and guitars Bagpipes and sitars Now, it's feeling like a small town With six billion people downtown Even Babel can't compare To Earth Town Square And as each hour goes by, ten thousand more arrive And the din gets louder on Main Street Where you can watch downtown boom And wonder if we'll make room For everybody there In Earth Town Square
