How long before I get in
Before it starts before I begin
How long before you decide
Before I know what it feels like
Where to where do I go
If you never try then you'll never know
How long do I have to climb
Up on the side of this mountain of mine
Look up look up at night
Planets are moving at the speed of light
Climb up up in the trees
The chance that you get is a chance you seize
How long am I gonna stand
With my head stuck under the sand
I'll start before I can stop
Before I see things the right way up
All that noise all that sound
All those places I get found
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show you how it all began
Birds go flying from the underground
If you could see it then you'd 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
The sign that I couldn't read
All the light that I couldn't see
Some things you have to believe
But others the puzzles puzzling me
All that noise and all that sound
All those places I got found
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show you how it all began
Birds go flying from the underground
If you could see it then you'd understand
Oh when you see it then
You'll understand
All those signs
And knew what they meant
Some things you can't bear
Some get made and some get sense
Oh and 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
Oh when you see it then you'll understand
