about

I thought of this song when I was looking down on the Earth from an airplane and wondering what aliens, from another planet, would think of our world.

lyrics

If you could see the Earth from space, it would change your world view.
If you could only see the world the way that aliens see you.
You’d wonder why they live this way and why they hurt each other.
Earth looks so confusing to another world.

No, we can not settle here, but we might come back some day
If the people of the Earth see the light and change their ways.
When will the people of the Earth see the light?

Just imagine for a moment, you’re an alien looking down
And you see all those people who are outcast and put down.
Now, you’d have to ask yourself, why do the humans live this way?
Why do they inflict their own kind with so much pain?

There’s an attitude on the Earth that the humans call prejudice.
Observers from above find it hard to explain.
There’s so much hatred in your world, it scares intelligent life away.

Could you explain prejudice to an alien?
Could you explain human hatred to an alien?
You might have to explain it to an alien some day.
As the humans go out in space, the aliens look back at you,
And wonder why …

Why do the people of the Earth live this way?
