Speed of Sound

How long before I get in?
 Before it starts, before I begin?
 How long before you decide?
 Before I know what it feels like?
 ♪
 Where to, where do I go?
 If you never try, then you'll never know
 How long do I have to climb
 Up on the side of this mountain of mine?
 Look up, I look up at night
 Planets are moving at the speed of light
 Climb up, up in the trees
 Every chance that you get
 Is a chance you seize
 How long am I gonna stand
 With my head stuck under the sand?
 I'll start before I can stop
 Before I see things the right way up
 All that noise, and all that sound
 
 All those places I have found
 And birds go flying at the speed of sound
 To show you how it all began
 Birds came flying from the underground
 If you could see it then you'd understand
 If you could see it then you'd understand
 ♪
 Ideas that you'll never find
 All the inventors could never design
 The buildings that you put up
 Japan and China all lit up
 The signs that I couldn't read
 Or a light that I couldn't see
 Some things you have to believe
 But others are puzzles, puzzling me
 All that noise, and all that sound
 All those places I've got found
 And birds go flying at the speed of sound
 To show you how it all began
 Birds came flying from the underground
 If you could see it then you'd understand
 Ah when you see it then you'll understand
 ♪
 All those signs, I knew what they meant
 Some things you can invent
 Some get made, and some get sent
 Ooh ooh
 Birds go flying at the speed of sound
 To show you how it all began
 Birds come flying from the underground
 If you could see it then you'd understand
 If you could see it then you'd understand
