Are we really spinning around
Like the way they say?
Circling the sun somewhere out in space
Seems really far away
And we're here standing still
Don't you think we should be falling?
Cos if the earth's revolving
Why don't we all fall in?
I looked at her and said it's like a spinning top
A parent thinking on the spot
If I'm honest, I don't understand it
I would just meander in the wonder and the grandeur
How could anyone have ever planned it?
I don't want to think about the trouble on the way
Think about the trouble on the way
Looking out toward the glow above the cityscape
I don't want you to worry
I don't know what's in store for you
If you could give me your worries
I could carry em all for you
Where we're headed there's a red line
In store for you
Live a long life Betty White
I don't want no wars for you
"Dada, how do waves happen?"
I point to the endless sea
Can you believe it's own patterns?
Caused by the tides beneath
That drag the ocean by the sun and moon
If I'm honest I'm a bit confused
See I don't know the way the water moves
And she laughs saying you are confused
You just said the sun and the moon
But I was talking about waves
I shrug saying I dunno babe
But can you feel the salt water spray
Vapour of something so violent
The swell so powerful
But look up it's a beautiful day
I don't want to know about trouble on the way
But trouble gonna come our way
Looking at the glow on the cityscape
Wonder what will come with the winds of change
Like crashing waves from somewhere far away
I don't want you to worry
I don't know what's in store for you
If you could give me your worries
I could carry em all for you
Where we're headed there's a red line
In store for you
Live a long life Betty White
I don't want no wars for you
