Universe - Sarah Slean

Once I took the universe to dinner

When she failed to yeild the earth’s demands

'Oh,'she said 'you mean that little ant farm?

I’m alright, dear, I’ve got other plans'

And we’re sad because we think we don’t belong here

We’re guilty 'cause we think we should be stars

Floating in a navy soup, we’re sailing

There you are

There you are

She’s so bright

And then she’s gone

Don’t mind me

I’m just sailing

On a sunrise

It’s my favourite thing

And when are you

Going to realize

I don’t blame you

I never have

And when she talks, she fills the room with sunlight

She can name her babies, every one

I’ve returned to the place of my beginning

And I can see her turning off the sun

And we’re sad because we think we don’t belong here

We’re guilty 'cause we think we should be stars

Floating in a navy soup, we’re sailing

There you are

There you are

She’s so bright

And then she’s gone

Don’t mind me

I’m just sailing

On a sunrise

It’s my favourite thing

And when are you

Going to realize

I don’t blame you

I never have
