This is a key that Pete has played this song in. Now when he breaks and whistles I don’t think he is playing the same chords. It’s so quiet it’s hard to tell but what I have written goes well with the melody. From way up here the earth looks very small It’s just a little ball of rock and sea and sand No bigger than my hand. From way up here the earth looks very small They shouldn’t fight at all Down there upon that little sphere. Chorus: Their time is short a life is just a day You’ think they’ find way. You’d think they’d get along And fill their sunlit days with song. Whistling: From way up here the earth is very small It’s just a little ball so small so beautiful and dear. Chorus: Their time is short a life is just a day Must be a better way To use the time that runs among the distant suns. From way up here the earth is very small It’s just a little ball so small so beautiful and dear

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque une perspective qui relativise les conflits humains en regardant la Terre d'une certaine hauteur. De là-haut, notre planète apparaît comme une petite sphère majestueuse, fragile et précieuse, rappelant que la vie est éphémère et que les querelles ne devraient pas avoir leur place sur ce petit morceau de roche. Il est suggéré que, face à l'immensité de l'univers et à la brièveté de notre existence, il serait sage de privilégier l'harmonie et la joie, au lieu de se concentrer sur nos différends. Cette vision nous invite à réfléchir sur la façon dont nous utilisons notre temps et notre énergie dans ce monde si vaste.
