2
Lindbergh left Long Island in 1927
3
He thumbed his nose at gravity
4
And climbed into the heavens.
5
When he returned to earth that night
6
Everything had changed
7
for the pilot and the planet
8
Everything was rearranged
9
We're a pretty mixed up bunch
10
Of crazy human beings
11
It's written on our rocketships
12
And in early cave wall scenes
13
How does it happen?
14
How do we know?
15
Who sits and watches?
16
Who does the show?
17
Some people love to lead
18
Some refuse to dance
19
Some people play it safely
20
Others take a chance
21
Still, it's all a mystery
22
This place we call the world
23
Where most live as oysters
24
While some become pearls
25
Now Elvis was the only man
26
from North East Mississippi
27
Who could shake his hips
28
And still be loved by
29
Rednecks, cops and hippies
30
It's something more than DNA
31
That tells us who we are
32
Its method and magic
33
We are of the stars
34
Some never fade away
35
Some crash and burn
36
Some make the world go round
37
Others watch it turn
38
Still, it's all a mystery,
39
This place we call the world
40
Most are fine as oysters
41
While some become pearls
