Endless distance Wildlife and stars Blanket the night You lying beside me, darling Eyes wide open While the wide arc of the globe is turning We feel it moving through the dark Hear the hills Scrape the sky And our eyes fill with the falling sparks Then we know that we're alive If we weren't Sure before I reach for you by my side and soar Revolution Earth On gliding fireworks Revolution Earth Rolling under us The world is turning on gliding fireworks You beside me Revolution Earth Frost on the jungle vine Melting in sunshine (in summer time) Snow on the mountain top Piling high in loving cups! Then we know that we're alive If we weren't Sure before I reach for you by my side and soar Revolution Earth On gliding fireworks Revolution Earth Rolling under us High above on gliding fireworks You beside me Revolution Earth (Whew!) You flying beside me, darling Eyes open wide (eyes open wide) On a voyage between dusk and dawn Space and time Then we know that we're alive If we weren't Sure before I reach for you by my side and soar Revolution Earth On gliding fireworks Revolution Earth Rolling under us The world is turning on gliding fireworks You beside me Revolution - Revolution Earth On gliding fireworks Revolution Earth Rolling under us High above on gliding fireworks You beside me Revolution Earth do do do-do do do do do do-do-do do do do do do-do do do do do do-do-do do do do do do-do do do do do do-do-do do do
