Mission A World Record
Electric Light Orchestra
[Verse 1] For many days we travelled from a distant place and time To reach a place they call the planet Earth There was to be a celebration On the mission of the sacred heart [Verse 2] The planet Earth from way up there is beautiful and blue And floating softly through a rainbow But when you touch down things look different here At the mission of the sacred heart [Chorus] Watching all the days roll by Who are you and who am I?
