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've never tried, then you'll never know How long do I have to climb up on the side of this mountain of mine? Ooh, ooh, ooh Look up, look up at night Planets are moving at the speed of light Climb up, up in the trees Every chance that you get is a chance you'll seize How long am I gonna stand With my head stuck under the sand? I'll start before I can stop Before I see there's a right way up But 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 came flying from the underground If you could see it, then you'd understand Oh, if you see it, then you'd understand Ideas that you never find All the inventions you never designed The buildings that you put up Japan and China, all in all The sun that I couldn't read Or a light that I couldn't see Some things you have to believe But others are puzzles, puzzling me But 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 came flying from the underground If you could see it, then you'd understand Oh, if you see it, then you'd understand If you see it, then you'd understand
