Universe
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
To live, to breathe, to die
Give me one reason not to try
Why should I be afraid?
One life, one mind, one day
Give me one reason not to stay
Why should I be afraid?
Racing across the sky
Into the heart of the sun
How will we ever survive?
Hey, I'm on the edge of the earth
This is my universe
Travelling the speed of light
One day at a time
And I don't need to be saved
I'm on the edge of the earth
This is my universe
Travelling the speed of light
One day at a time
And I don't need to be saved
Year 1969
Transmission, God is on the line
Why should we be afraid?
One life, one mind, one day
Nothing is standing in my way
Why should I be afraid?
And if we toe the line
They'll make us change our mind
How will we ever survive?
Hey, I'm on the edge of the earth
This is my universe
Travelling the speed of light
One day at a time
'Cause I don't need to be saved
I'm on the edge of the earth
This is my universe
Travelling the speed of light
One day at a time
And I don't need to be saved
And if we toe the line
They'll make us change our mind
How will we ever survive?
Hey, I'm on the edge of the earth
This is my universe (Are you listening?)
Travelling the speed of light
One day at a time (Can you hear me?)
And I don't need to be saved
I'm on the edge of the earth
This is my universe (Are you listening?)
Travelling the speed of light
One day at a time (Can you hear me?)
And I don't need to be saved
