Before the Earth Was Round

Before the earth was round

There was no end to things

And no one tried to measure what they knew

Everything was warm

And everyone was loved

And every contradiction was true

The sun was twice as hot

The moon was twice as far

And the sky was still honestly blue

The sky was still honestly blue

But when the time came

Everything spiraled in

And everyone forgot what they knew

War became a job

And love became a mystery

And heart and head were split into two

Fear and doubt began

And God threw up his hands

And the sky didn't know what to do

The sky didn't know what to do

The sky didn't know what to do
