Lyrics
A Beautiful Thing
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.
You've kept me down my whole life through
But you've kept the earth spherical, too
Well I could just fly to the moon
If I could just overrule you
But since you ain't goin' nowhere
I'll make the best of your grip on me
And everything
'Cause wherever I go you'll be waiting for me
Gravity won't set you free
But she forms all the planets and stars that we see
Gravity's a beautiful thing
That you cannot escape
And I'd rather keep it that way
Well you've got a hold of this delicate globe
And it's quite a sight to behold
To watch as it circles around
Our sun as we're glued to the ground
Well I've heard that you're slowing down time
Curving space and then bending the light
That's trying to keep a straight line
On its journey to light up the sky
If it weren't for you there wouldn't be stars
No light in the darkness that travels so far
Although we could fly so free
Inside we would weaken and atrophy
