Bm For many days we travelled from a distant place and time, F#m To reach a place they call the planet Earth, G F#m There was to be a celebration, Bm A A G 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.
CHORUS A G F#7 Watching all the days roll by Bm Gm6 Who are you and who am I?
D D4 Gm6 e ---2--3--2--0------0 h ---3--3--------3---- g ---2--2-----------3-
How's life on earth?
Eb7 D7 When all the stars above Eb7 D7 A7 Rain icy fingers down on me
On a dirty worn-out sidewalk, sits a mother with a baby, In her vale of tears she sees no rainbow And someone's singing from a window In the mission of the sacred heart.
CHORUS -- repeat
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.
