FROM WAY UP HERE
(Malvina Reynolds)

From way up here, the earth looks very small
It's just a little ball of rock and sea and sand
No bigger than my hand.
From way up here, the earth looks very small,
They shouldn't fight at all down there,
Upon that little sphere.
Their time is short, a life is just a day
You'd think they'd find a way
You'd think they'd get along
And fill their magic days with song.

From way up here, the earth looks very small,
It's just a little ball,
So small, so beautiful and clear.
Their time is short, a life is just a day,
Must be a better way
To use the time that runs
Among the distant suns.

From way up here, the earth is very small,
It's just a little ball,
So small, so beautiful and dear.
