How many times Will the earth spin around? Most spend their lives With their heads in the ground Walking without ever taking a step Speaking without ever making sound Gold turns to rust as the leaves fall down Definite silence, the saddest sound I was a lake that reflected the stars You were the silent alarm, Going off. Give me a sign, Turn on the warning light And I'll carry on my life Without always turning around When we arrive We'll be our own design And you'll be the morning light How many times will the Earth spin around We spend our lives with our heads in the ground Walking without ever taking a step Speaking without making sound Give me a sign Turn on the warning lights I'll carry on my life Without always turning around When we rise, We'll be our own design And you'll be the morning light... You're the world outside Tonight.
