Who'd want to visit us anyway?
[C][G][Am7]
[F][G][C]
Is [C]anyone tuned [G]in to Earth F[Am]M?
Does [F]anybody [G]want to be our [C]friend?
If there's [F]life a[G]mong the [Am]stars
As we be[F]lieve the [G]chances [Am]are
Will they [F]come and [G]take a [Am]look
Or do they [F]wish that [G]we'd shut [C]up?
[C]Is there a [G]signal in the [Am]noise?
[F]Are we just [G]yelling in the [Am]void?
We [F]send and [G]we re[Am]try
And we [F]hope for [G]a re[Am]ply
They [F]must have [G]heard it [Am]all
But they [F]won't re[G]turn our [C]calls
Will we [G]ever welcome guests into our [F]ho[C]me?
Or [E7]are we forever on our [Am]own?
[F]Are [G]we al[Am]one?
[F]Are [G]we al[C]one?[G][Am]
[F][G][C]
Do [C]we believe that [G]we deserve their [Am]trust?
When they [F]see how we treat [G]those who aren't like [C]us?
Do they [F]think we'd [G]get on [Am]well
When we can't [F]get on [G]with our[Am]selves
And we [F]always [G]put the [Am]blame
On who[F]ever's [G]not the [C]same
If they [C]risk their lives to [G]seek out distant [Am]worlds
To [F]meet the bipeds [G]they have long ob[C]served
Would we [F]love them [G]as our [Am]neighbours?
Or [F]treat them [G]as in[Am]vaders
When they [F]say they [G]come in [Am]peace
Do they [F]think they'd [G]be be[C]lieved?
Will we [G]ever welcome guests into our [F]ho[C]me?
Or [E7]are we forever on our [Am]own?
[F]Are [G]we al[Am]one?
[F]Are [G]we al[C]one?
And the [E7]standard pro[Am]cedure
Is to [E7]take them to your [Am]leader
But [C]would they have [G]anything to [Am]learn
From [F]those who'd rather [G]watch their planet [C]burn?
[F][G][Am]
[F][G][C]
Will we [G]ever welcome guests into our [F]ho[C]me?
Or [E7]are we forever on our [Am]own?
[F]Are [G]we al[Am]one?
[F]Are [G]we al[C]one?
[F]Are [G]we al[Am]one?
[F]Are [G]we al[C]one?
What a beautifully thought out original Edwin. That fear and disdain for “the other” is one of the worst human traits there is.
Allegorical writing on its best, Edwin!
Fine original song!
Fine speculation in song about THE question AFAIAC. Nice one Edwin!
Edwin, as per usual, you did an awesome job. The lyrics are powerful.
A few home truths for the inhabitants of planet earth in there Edwin, wonderful original that sounds really catchy strummed on your 8 string. Thanks for bringing our first season original.
Cheers!
This is a good song to play on the Space Shuttle. Well done, Edwin
Thanks!
Great original.
Cheers!
Really good original Edwin. Really like some of your rhymes.
Thanks!
Enjoyed this. Nice lyrics!
Thank you!
what a great song. Such touching lyrics. so much truth (and sadness) here. I noticed Earth FM is tuned to AM. :--) Reminded me of a line a friend loves to say : which planet are you on? Love this, Edwin. Bravo.
and it seems to me like I had commented on your last haircut just yesterday....how time just disappeared... Anyway, great haircut!
