On the day the Earth turned upside down The sky above became the ground And the clouds became the sea below Of course, I wasn't the first to know And all the people struck with fear Would fall until they disappeared And those of them inside their homes Would hit the roof and break their bones Outside, they wish that they were in Where ceiling fans would cut their skin And inside, they wish that they where out To look across the world about And though the Earth was quite a sight The ground had blocked out all the light As people screamed and clung to trees No one above could hear their pleas The world knew we all would die As buildings fell into the sky And down the tree trunks, some would climb But most just jumped to save them time And as for all those stuck inside They could not leave, and so they cried And prayed that death would take them soon It was quite an unfortunate afternoon While over here, we had met our end In China, they were free again To walk outside and stand their ground For in their homes, they were not found And over here, we all would perish And wish back for the life we cherish But the more we know, the less we fear And then the Earth became a sphere
