Immigrant Song

Immigrant Song

When I first started falling
through the hole in the sky
man I was traveling like I'd never known
and it didn't really hit me until I hit the ground
that I was a long long way from home
then I was awakened by a tender kiss
a healing hand and a place to start
and all I kept thinking
was how am I going to get out of this
without breaking somebody's heart
and the world keep turning around

well I got pretty good at walking upright
learning to talk and going to school
I worked real hard for very little money
I worked even harder at breaking the rules
I saw some things that I shouldn't have seen
so hell I went back to see them again
I laughed until I cried
I cried because I missed you
and I felt nearly human now and then
and the world keep turning around

a lot of people talking
about the end of this earth
because some old indian chiseled a stone
have no fear children she'll be here
a long long time after we're gone
see I spent a lifetime searching the skies
to see if I could spot some sign from home
and one of these days when my work is done
I'll head on back there where I come from
and the world keep turning around
and the world keep turning around
around and around and around
yes she does
