A Simple Thing Like That
[MADAME VELTRI]
A pebble falls into the foggy scene
The circle spread, and one becomes another
Before you know, a thousand circles form
And everyone is wider than the other
A simple thing like that, a pebble in a sea
Can make the widest circles..
Wonder, wonder, question ?
While you wonder, the earth is spinning
You stand alone, below the towering hills
And all at once, you'll find that you are singing
The echos rise and rumble through the stones
Your little song, has sat in a mountain, ringing
[ALEX, MADAME VELTRI & BOTH]
A simple thing like that
A tiny little voice and sat in a mountain, ringing
Wonder, wonder, question, while you will
While you wonder, the earth is spinning
The earth is spinning
