Precious Songtext
von Enigmatic Clergy

On a clear still night
The sky is studded
With numerous stars
Of the Milky Way

Light that has traveled
For millions of years
Alights on a man
Out walking his dog

The heart of the man
Beats during his life
Two billion times
And a little bit more

Each beat will give him
The chance to look up
Each beat will bring him
Closer to the end


There ain′t no one
Coming to save us
Why do you think
We have freewill

Its time to grow up
Stop squabbling like children
Its time to stop fighting
Over meters of land

Life is precious
To live is precious
Time is precious
To know this is precious

On a bright sunny day
The sky is studded
Stars hide in the light
Bursting from our sun

Heat that has traveled
Ninety three million miles
Dries washed clothes
Hanging on a line


Some four and a half
Billion years ago
Our stellar neighbour
Began its journey

Half-way through its life
It grants us a chance
To live and to love
Whilst we have the time

There ain't no one
Coming to save us
Why do you think
We have freewill

Its time to grow up
Stop squabbling like children
Its time to stop fighting
Over meters of land

Life is precious
To live is precious
Time is precious
To know this is precious

Let′s be honest it's unlikely
Any star we can see
Will be the home
Of a civilisation

We are on our own
The problems we have
We need to sort out
Humanity is one

There ain't no one
Coming to save us
Why do you think
We have free will

Its time to grow up
Stop squabbling like children
Its time to stop fighting
Over meters of land

Life is precious
To live is precious
Time is precious
To know this is precious
