1
Lindbergh left Long Island in 1927
2
Thumbed his nose at gravity and climbed into the heavens
3
When he returned to earth that night everything had changed
4
For the pilot and the planet, everything was rearranged
5
We're a pretty mixed up bunch
6
Of crazy human beings
7
It's written on our rocket ships
8
And in early cave wall scenes
9
How does it happen?
10
How do we know?
11
Who sits and watches?
12
Who does the show?
13
Some people love to lead, some refuse to dance
14
Some play it safely, others take a chance
15
Still it's all a mystery, this place we call the world
16
Where most live as oysters while some become pearls
17
Elvis was the only man from Northeast Mississippi
18
Who could shake his hips and still be loved by rednecks, cops and hippies
19
It's something more than DNA that tells us who we are
20
It's method and it's magic, we are of the stars
21
Some never fade away and some crash and burn
22
Some make the world go round, others watch it turn
23
Still it's all a mystery, this place we call the world
24
Most are fine as oysters while some become pearls
25
Lindbergh left Long Island in 1927
