SO BEAUTIFUL – OUR SPACE AND SKIES A GLOBAL ANTHEM* BY BILLY MAC – NOV. 2001

*These words were written to the music of: “America, The Beautiful”

 

So beautiful, our space and skies when viewed from this earth plane
Its awesome sights can mesmerize as we walk its grand terrain
This earth we’re on keeps spinning on
With its sun and its galaxy.
Whirling – thru its space never out of place
With a sense of majesty.

So beautiful our skies and space, when viewed from this earth place
The stars and lights, that surround its flight, let us ponder with delight
Earth stays its course Earth knows its source
Moving with a silent force.
Traveling through dark space with its human race
Hoping for their unity.

So beautiful, our space and skies, when viewed from this earth plane
The heart of earth can sense our pain and it causes earth to strain
Earth spins around looking quite profound
Wanting us, to all calm down.
It will mirror our peace making storms decrease
And reflect our harmony.

So beautiful, our planet earth on which we do not know our worth
Can we live in peace, causing pain to cease on this planet of our birth
Earth stays its course Earth knows its source
Taking us on a tour de force
Whirling – thru its space, with its human race
With a sense of majesty.

So beautiful our space and skies when viewed thru stress-free eyes
Can the human race, actually keep in pace, with the grandeur of our skies
Can we shine our light like the stars at night
Keeping love foremost in sight?
Can we – memorialize our space and skies
With our oneness and dignity?
