sacred heart

This is me

Calling you from planet Earth


For many days

I traveled from a distant

Place and time

To reach a place they call

The planet Earth


There was to be a celebration

On the mission of the sacred heart

Earth from way up there

Is beautiful and blue

And floating softly

Through a rainbow

But when you touch down

Things look different there

At the mission of the sacred heart

Watching all the days roll by


How's life on Earth?


When all the stars above

Lay icy fingers down on me

On a dirty worn-out sidewalk sits a Mother with a baby

In her veil of tears

She sees no rainbow

And someone's singing

From a window

But I'm still stuck here

In the mission of the sacred heart


There's a building on a corner

In a city

In a land

On a place they call

The planet Earth


My orders are to sit here

And watch the world go by

It's the mission of the sacred heart


Watching all the days roll by

Who are you and who am I?


How's life on Earth?

Is it worth it?
