I'm a melancholy man, that's what I am
All the world surrounds me and my feet are on the ground
I'm a very lonely man doing what I can
All the world astounds me and I think I understand
That we're going to keep growing, wait and see

When all the stars are falling down
Into the sea and on the ground
And angry voices carry on the wind
A beam of light will fill your head
And you'll remember what's been said
By all the good men this world's ever known
Another man is what you'll see
Who looks like you and looks like me
And yet somehow he will not feel the same
His life caught up in misery, he doesn't think like you and me
'Cause he can't see what you and I can see
