Why Should I
Stand on the edge of the world
Watch it turn, watch it change
As it hurls through the same air
You breathe and you take
What force is holding you here
Gravity or a weight
Sinking down through the soles of your feet
I remember the first time I tried
To grab hold of how wide
And endless the sky we sleep under at night
Far as the stars may reach I'll attempt
To make peace with the fact that I can do is believe
Is it the mind that decides
What to choose, what is right
How to move, how to make sense of the night sky?
Shooting stars don't think the same
Why should I? Why should I?
Shooting stars don't think the same, why should I?
Notice the shape of the moon
And the way she takes her place
As the lead on the stage of the theater of space
Gentle and poised she waits as the meteors play
And the planets begin to illuminate
How can I know and not see
That the trees also breathe
Do they feel just like me?
Are they happy to be?
Protecting the young from the sun
Keeping life that's just begun
From shouting up at the moon
Asking if she's the only one
Is it the mind that decides
What to choose, what is right
How to move
How to make sense of the night sky?
Shooting stars don't think the same
Why should I? Why should I?
Shooting stars don't think the same, why should I?
Everyone will try
To grab hold of how wide
And endless the sky we sleep under at night
Far as the stars may reach I'll attempt
To make peace with the fact that I can do is believe
Watch it turn, watch it change
As it hurls through the same air
You breathe and you take
What force is holding you here
Gravity or a weight
Sinking down through the soles of your feet
I remember the first time I tried
To grab hold of how wide
And endless the sky we sleep under at night
Far as the stars may reach I'll attempt
To make peace with the fact that I can do is believe
Is it the mind that decides
What to choose, what is right
How to move, how to make sense of the night sky?
Shooting stars don't think the same
Why should I? Why should I?
Shooting stars don't think the same, why should I?
Notice the shape of the moon
And the way she takes her place
As the lead on the stage of the theater of space
Gentle and poised she waits as the meteors play
And the planets begin to illuminate
How can I know and not see
That the trees also breathe
Do they feel just like me?
Are they happy to be?
Protecting the young from the sun
Keeping life that's just begun
From shouting up at the moon
Asking if she's the only one
Is it the mind that decides
What to choose, what is right
How to move
How to make sense of the night sky?
Shooting stars don't think the same
Why should I? Why should I?
Shooting stars don't think the same, why should I?
Everyone will try
To grab hold of how wide
And endless the sky we sleep under at night
Far as the stars may reach I'll attempt
To make peace with the fact that I can do is believe
