The Day the Earth Turned Upside Down

On the day the Earth turned upside down
The sky above became the ground
And the clouds became the sea below
Of course, I wasn't the first to know
And all the people struck with fear
Would fall until they disappeared
And those of them inside their homes
Would hit the roof and break their bones

Outside, they wish that they were in
Where ceiling fans would cut their skin
And inside, they wish that they where out
To look across the world about
And though the Earth was quite a sight
The ground had blocked out all the light
As people screamed and clung to trees
No one above could hear their pleas

The world knew we all would die
As buildings fell into the sky
And down the tree trunks, some would climb
But most just jumped to save them time
And as for all those stuck inside
They could not leave, and so they cried
And prayed that death would take them soon
It was quite an unfortunate afternoon

While over here, we had met our end
In China, they were free again
To walk outside and stand their ground
For in their homes, they were not found
And over here, we all would perish
And wish back for the life we cherish
But the more we know, the less we fear
And then the Earth became a sphere
