One Small Step... Part 5 a Blink of the Eye Songtext

von Manning

Clinging to the spinning ball
Lassoed to the Sun and the stars
One small floating miracle
Lost amongst the echoes and shards
Only here, only here for a moment

Far below the daily grind
The minerals are wrenched from the clay
And high above our tallest tower
The skin in the air fades away
Only here, only here for a moment
Only here, only here in the blink of an eye

Pouring all the waste and contempt
Into the earth, sky and sea
No point in conserving our strength,
As it ceases to be
Only here, only here for a moment

We're the neighbours from Hell!
So why should we be welcomed on our way?
Devouring our heritage
No merit as we live for today
But we're only here, only here for a moment
We're only here, only here in the blink of an eye
