how long before i get in
before it starts before i begin
how long before you decide
before i know what i feel alive
where to where do i go
if you never try you'll never know
how long do i have to climb
up on the side of this mountain of mine
look up i look up at night
planets are moving at the speed of light
climb up up in the trees
every chance that you get is a chance you see
how long am i gonna stand
with my head stuck under the sand
i'll stop before i can stop
before i see things the right way up
all that noise and all that sound
all those places i got found
the birds go flying at the speed of sound
to show you how it all began
birds came flying from the underground
if you could see it then you'd understand
if you could see it then you'll understand
ideas that you'll never find
all the inventors could never design
the buildings that you put up
japan and china all lit up
this time that i couldn't breathe
all the light that i couldn't see
some things you have to believe
others are puzzles possibly see
all that noise and all that sound
all those places i've got found
birds go flying at the speed of sound
show you how it all began
birds came flying from the underground
if you could see it then you'd
understand
i want to see it if you understand
