Antes de a Terra ser redonda Before the earth was round, As coisas não tinham fim There was no end to things Ninguém tentou medir o que eles sabiam No one tried to measure what they knew
Tudo era quente Everything was warm E todo mundo amava And everyone would love E cada contradição era verdade And every contradiction was true O sol trabalhava duas vezes mais The sun worked twice as hard E a lua era duas vezes mais longe And the moon was twice as far E o céu ainda estava honestamente azul And the sky was still honestly blue
O céu ainda era honestamente azul The sky was still honestly blue
Mas quando chegou o momento But when the time came Tudo espiralou para dentro Everything spiraled in E todos esqueceram o que sabiam And everyone forgot what they knew
Guerra tornou-se um emprego War became a job E o amor se tornou um mistério And love became a mystery E o coração e a cabeça foram dobrados fora de sintonia And heart and head were rent into two O medo e a dúvida começaram Fear and doubt began E Deus ergueu as mãos para cima And God threw up his hands E o céu não sabia o que fazer And the sky didn't know what to do
O céu não sabia o que fazer The sky didn't know what to do O céu não sabia o que fazer The sky didn't know what to do
