Electric Light Orchestra Mission (A World Record) Lyrics

For many days we travelled 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.

The planet Earth from way up there is beautiful and blue
And floating softly through a rainbow,
But when you touch down things look different here,
At the mission of the sacred heart.

Watching all the days roll by
Who are you and who am I?
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
In the mission of the sacred heart.

Watching all the days roll by
Who are you and who am I?
How's life on earth?
When all the stars above lay icy fingers down on me.

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,
From the mission of the sacred heart.

Watching all the days roll by
Who are you and who am I?
How's life on earth?
What is it worth?
