Lyrics

There's no place like Planet Home

Nowhere else I'd rather be

It's the only place I know

Where you can witness tragedy

There's no time to wonder now

About who is right or wrong

We're gonna need some help to get this straight

So come on, bring your voice along

Cause sure enough

There's no place like

Planet home(I wanna go now)

If only we could make it right

Planet home(I wanna go now)

This bluish sphere of shattered dreams

Is headed for destruction

Illusions drip from every seam

It's just death, war and corruption

I heard there was a promised land on planet home

Two thousand years have been and gone

But still we don't know

Can't you see that

There's no place like

Planet home(I wanna go now)

If only we could make it right

Planet home(I wanna go now)

Find yourself some peace on

Planet home(I wanna go now)

Anything's in reach on

Planet home

Planet home is blue and green

Beautiful for you to see

Planet home is blue and green

Beautiful for you to see

Planet home is blue and green

Beautiful for you to see

Planet home is blue and green
