lyrics

When I crawled out my skin
Found that life was to live
Well, my feet left the earth
When I saw you up there
Floating ‘round in the air

When we land up on the planet
Finally, you said, you’ll understand it
You are miraculous, you are the sun in your day

So when I crawled out my skin
Found that life was to live
I saw all of it, all of it
Floating away

When we landed again
On the planet, you said
Sweetheart, you are divine
See I always suspected
There was a force in my chest
And a strength in my mind

When we landed up on the planet
Finally I said, I understand it
I am miraculous, I am the sun in my day

When we landed again
On the planet I wept
Cuz I saw all of it, all of it
Floating away

Ooh, bursting through
Ooh, bursting through

When we landed up on the planet
Finally I said, I understand it
I am miraculous, I am the sun in my day

When we landed again
On the planet I wept
Cuz I saw all of it, all of it, all of it
Floating away

Ooh, bursting through
Ooh, bursting through
