Mission (a World Record)

For many days we travelled from a distant place and time,

To reach a place they call the planet earth,

There was to be a celebration,

On the mission of the sacred heart.



The planet earth from way up there is beautiful and blue

And floating softly through a rainbow,

But when you touch down things look different here,

At the mission of the sacred heart.



Chorus

Watching all the days roll by

Who are you and who am i?



On a dirty worn-out sidewalk, sits a mother with a baby,

In her vale of tears she sees no rainbow

And someone's singing from a window

In the mission of the sacred heart.



Chorus -- repeat



There's a building on a corner, in a city, in a land,

On a place they call the planet earth,

My orders are to sit here and watch the world go by,

From the mission of the sacred heart.



Chorus -- repeat
