If we received a warning call,
Would we change at all?
Close your eyes and make believe
And tell me what you see.
Will we rise
From our sleep
Like a bolt from the blue?
Will we realise?
If they found a tube in outer space
And no-one knew who put it there.
If they looked inside and
Found out they'd lived lonely lives,
Followed by a lonesome death
They sent it hoping we would learn
They blew it here with their final breath.
They made a list of their mistakes-
It looked a lot like ours.
If it happened, do you think we'd learn?
Do you think we'd learn?
Will we rise
From our sleep
Like a bolt from the blue?
Will we realise?
If they knew how to talk through space,
And we received a warning call
Do you think we'd learn?
Would it be in vain?
Do you think we'd learn?
Let's not end our days
Like they did on earth.
