lyrics

When I was a little boy I stared at the sky
And calculated distances imperceptible to the human eye.
It was so easy.
And I’d always get such joy from staring at the sky
I’d contemplate the universe
Ever searching for the answers in the night
It’s never easy

So if you like I will show you a few things
It just so happens we’re lucky this evening
A lonely little boy isolated by my mind
Waiting for a celestial sign just to keep me occupied for a short time
It’s never easy

It’s all about revolution, brother there’s a solution
It’s a revolutionary thing keeps spinning around
And around and around
When I close my eyes I see the movement in the stars
And still I watch them while I’m waiting for the lights to come on
And I think I could be waiting long

Now I’m grown, still staring at the sky
There’s nothing left to calculate
Except to wonder why the world has passed me by
Oh, it’s never easy

So if you like I will show you a few things
I just so happens we’re lucky this evening
Keep your eyes open wide and you’ll see it
It’s a revolutionary thing keeps spinning around
And around and around
When I close my eyes I see the movement in the stars
And still I watch them while I’m waiting for the lights to come on
And I think I could be waiting long
