Before the earth was round,
There was no end to things
No one tried to measure what they knew
Everything was warm
And everyone would love
And every contradiction was true
The sun worked twice as hard
And the moon was twice as far
And the sky was still honestly blue
The sky was still honestly blue
But when the time came
Everything spiraled in
And everyone forgot what they knew
War became a job
And love became a mystery
And heart and head were rent into two
Fear and doubt began
And God threw up his hands
And the sky didn't know what to do
The sky didn't know what to do
The sky didn't know what to do
