[verse 1]

The comet sails through the skies, It's icy body lights up the night

The none too frequent visitor gazes down upon the Earth

It's passed this way a millon times so it's seen it all before

The boy looks up to the sky, wonders, will it return before I die

[chorus]

When you come back , what kind of world will you find

One where people no longer kill each other, over water, food or land

Some place where the sky is blue, and the air is safe to breathe

The seas are clear of debris and the fish can breed again

[verse 2]

He watches as the bright light passes and thinks of the last time it was here

Back then did it look down on a world better than today

And what when it returns, will it see floods, fires and storms

Or we've waged the final war, and a dead planet, was all the comet saw

[chorus]

When you come back , what kind of world will you find

One where people no longer kill each other, over water, food or land

Some place where the sky is blue, and the air is safe to breathe

The seas are clear of debris and the fish can breed again

[verse 3]

As the comet passes by, in a day it will be gone

The journey will be cold and dark, circling around the sun

Will another child, look to the sky in awe,

or will the comet will fly on by, and no one see it any more

[chorus]

When you come back , what kind of world will you find

One where people no longer kill each other, over water, food or land

Some place where the sky is blue, and the air is safe to breathe

The seas are clear of debris and the fish can breed again

[outro]

Will another child, look to the sky in awe,

or will the comet will fly on by,

and no one see it any more

  • I like the story told in these lyrics.. i don't think genetically we are capable of peace. divide and conquer on a cellular level :)... the music is a good choice, captures the essence of the lyrics :)

  • It's a nice theme. The comet returning periodically, a silent witness to what passes on earth, and those below looking up at it, either the same person, or a new generation. Nice change of perspectives.

    And I can't argue with the message!

    The music seems a good fit on this one too.

    Much to enjoy.
