8. From Way Up Here
Words Malvina Reynolds/Music Pete Seeger © 1964
From way up here the earth looks very small.
It’s just a little ball of rock and sea and sand.
No bigger than my hand.
From way up here the earth looks very small.
They shouldn’t fight at all down there
upon that little sphere.
Their time is short, a life is just a day.
You’d think they’d find a way.
You’d think they’d get along.
And fill their sunlit days with song.
From way up here the earth looks very small.
It’s just a little ball, so small,
So beautiful and clear.
Their time is short, a life is just a day.
Must be a better way.
To use the time that runs
Among the distant suns.
From way up here the earth looks very small.
It’s just a little ball so small,
So beautiful and dear.
From way up here.
