Verse 1

(Johnny)

  Deep in the heart of the infinite darkness

  A tiny blue marble is spinning through space

  Born in the splendor of God's holy vision

  And sliding away like a tear down his face

Verse 2

(Johnny)

  The closer you see the whole wide holy wonder

  Of oceans and mountains and rivers and trees

  And the strangest creation of many,the human

  A creature of laughter and Freedom and dreams

Verse 3

(A tone higher) (Waylon)

  Now the warriors are waving their old rusty sabres

  And preachers are preaching the gospel of hate

  By their behavior they're determined to teach us

  A lesson we're soon to be learning too late

Verse 4

(Johnny)

  Look closer my brother, we're killing each other

  And we'd better stop and get started today

  Because life is the question and life is the answer

  And God is the reason and love is the way.

  Because life is the question and life is the answer

  And God is the reason and love is the way.
