There was darkness, there was light,
There was day and there was night,
There was wrong and there was right…
And then there was me.
You didnt even know me, but you treated me like dirt.
and then there was me
You didnt even know me, but you called me a jerk.
and then there was me
Im from a planet near a star
You wouldnt know its very far.
There calling me the man from mars
And I think theyre insulting me.
They tried to take my special suit.
insulting me
They say my head looks like fruit What is fruit?!
insulting me
Put your hands up or Ill shoot!
I dont have hands…
Across the galaxy I flew,
Heard a peaceful message sent by you.
Now I find youre judged by color and size.
I cant believe what you call my…
Ise the guy who sails the sky, but I think Id like to live
Here.
Id like to share your mountains, share your trees, and share
Your rivers.
Ive never seen so many people of so many colors.
Id like one day for you to say that I could call you brother.
and then there was we
Id like to learn about your pizza and your weather,
and then there was we
Then we could learn about how beings live together.
and then there was we
So if youre thinking about being a spaceman,
It dont matter if youre black or white
Or purple or green or blue or red
Or yellow with polka dots on your head
Or made of snow or made of wheat
Or looking like something thats kind of a treat.
I like your hat… fade
