lyrics
i saw the universe born today
it gets excited by the warmth and follows the way
no one will take my baby away
it found itself expanding too fast
into a crystal child made from a star
if it's smothering with love
how could it be so far away?
i saw the planets form today
in a single file line with an elliptical face
first is the worst and second is the best
and the third is the one that was quiet in class
you crystal child made from a star
ignoring the parts you're counting it all
a crystal child made from a star
take a look above it's beginning to start
a crystal child tuning the dial
smile remains as it's shifting the tiles
it seems that i'm going to try forever
waking up i'm back in the wild
