A long time ago, in a far away land |
|
Theo was the man who learned to understand |
|
The riches of the earth |
|
And all that it was worth |
|
The first man that ever tried to stand with his own plan |
|
Now this man was all about the wind rain and trees |
|
He knew that it would take care of all of his family needs |
|
Now Ion was the son who spent his nights and days |
|
Looking for all kinds of ways to get his father's praise |
|
In all daddy's ways he just wanted to impress |
|
Make it faster, stronger is what he tried to stress |
|
Sofia was the girl |
|
Living in her own world |
|
She found love and joy with a young sky boy |
|
Sky boys were seen as less to the rest |
|
So it would seem |
|
Sofia went into the woods to daydream |
|
With love in her eyes |
|
Her own father would despise |
|
Her love for the young sky boy he would destroy |
|
Feet in the earth |
|
Heads in the sky |
|
We watch the world go by |
|
Feet in the earth |
|
Heads in the sky |
|
We watch as life goes by |
|
When Theo was gone, his son |
|
Ion took the power |
|
And in his daddy's name, he built the biggest strongest tower |
|
The earth people and sky people divided by machines |
|
And the ones who had nothing were the ones who had the wings |
|
The sky boy just wanted everything to be equal |
|
From full-time lover to now fighting for his people |
|
Now Beth was the mom |
|
Who really loved to weave |
|
She couldn't believe her own son would decieve |
|
The sky people got hungry and their welfare was ignored |
|
She let them in the tower and the bloody battle roared |
|
Down came iron and the tower fell as well |
|
The dark days were over and the sky people's hell |
|
Feet in the earth |
|
Heads in the sky |
|
We watch the world go by |
|
Feet in the earth |
|
Heads in the sky |
|
We watch as life goes by |
|
Sofia and the sky boy had long been kept apart |
|
Sofia grief was faded it was joy that filled her heart |
|
Wrapped in his loving wings |
|
Sofia took her man |
|
So the earth and sky united |
|
It was all father's plan |
|
Theo kept an acorn |
|
Sofia had carefully safely saved |
|
It was planted in the ground that her brother had once paved |
|
With a rustling and a creaking an unearthly sound |
|
Something big started growing right out of the fertile ground |
|
It was the biggest tree that any of the people ever seen |
|
And it covered up the sky with a layer of leafy green |
|
Then it rained and it rained and they watched the waters rise |
|
Then Sofia led her people to the safety of the skies |
|
Feet in the earth |
|
Heads in the sky |
|
We watch the world go by |
|
Feet in the earth |
|
Heads in the sky |
|
We watch as life goes by |
|
She climbed and she climbed |
|
But never giving up |
|
So pregnant and exhausted |
|
Finally made it to the top |
|
She looked into the sky and the world began to turn |
|
And with a single cry a new baby had arrived |
|
With OVO in his nest, everyone one had done their best |
|
To prepare for the world and every single test |
|
Soon he was blessed and as his mother stood by |
|
He was soon released and sailed off into the sky |
