World Song Lyrics

I fell asleep into a dream, a vivid waking dream

When I was standing above the earth

Before the dawn of history, before the dinosaurs

In the silence as it turned

In my dream an angel brought down a gift for the new world

It was covered by the ocean, before it was seen or heard

And she sang out, and a la, la, la, la

And a la, la, la, la, la

You only have one world

And a la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la

You only have one world

And humankind came into being

They invented the wheel and the great machines

But dark hearts could not be changed

They called it history's curse

And invented words, words that meant war and hate, slavery

I called out to the angel, reveal the gift and break the curse

I crossed from Jupiter to Saturn

I crossed the vast and empty universe

As I searched her out, I knew she'd come

And I sang, and a la, la, la, la

And a la, la, la, la, la

They only have one world

And time runs short

La, la, la, la

And a la, la, la, la, la

They only have one world

Then returned the angel

She wrapped her arms around the earth

She reached beneath the ocean

Said, soon it will be seen

It will be heard

The waves rose up

And history stopped

And we sang, and a la, la, la, la

And a la, la, la, la, la

We only have one world

Don't wake me up

And a la, la, la, la

And a la, la, la, la, la

We only have one world

And a la, la, la, la

And a la, la, la, la, la

We only have one world

And a la, la, la, la

And a la, la, la, la, la

We only have one world

And a la, la, la, la

And a la, la, la, la

A la, la, la, la

And a la, la, la, la

A la, la-la-la-la

Oh-oh, oh-oh

A la, la, la, la

A la, la, la, la

A la, la, la, la
