It was a nightmare
He thought he'd got it right, then
Everything was crashing back to earth
We were in the crowd and
We didn't hear a sound
We only saw the light
You watch it fall
You watch it fall
You never would have guessed
That you could feel so small
They were mistaken
In their calculations
Shuddering and shaking
Filling up with smoke
And all our daydreams
Patiently were waiting
Just in case they turned into hope
I watched it fall
I watched it fall
I never could have guessed
That I could feel so small
And all the world
Might crash and burn
We're all still learning how to get it right
It's been a million years
And no one's dried our tears yet
But let me tell you something that I've heard
This won't be the end
We'll get to start again
When knowledge of his glory fills the earth
