Verse 1:
 
Bm
For many days, we travelled from a distant place and time
            F#m
To reach a place they call the planet Earth
              G         F#m
There was to be a celebration
        Bm               A     G
On the mission of the sacred heart
 
   Verse 2:
 
     Bm
The planet Earth from way up there is beautiful and blue
     F#m
And floating softly through a rainbow
               G                      F#m
But when you touch down, things look different here
        Bm              A     G
At the mission of the sacred heart

Chorus:
 
 A                G        F#7
Watching all the days roll by
 Bm                    Gm6
Who are you and who am I?

(Living on the Earth, living on the Earth
 
Living on the Earth, living on the Earth)
 
Eb7 D7
     When all the stars above
                             A7
     Lay icy fingers down on me
 
     (Living on the Earth, living on the Earth
                                               Gm6
      Living on the Earth, living on the Earth)
 
 
    Verse 3:
 
      Bm
On a dirty worn-out sidewalk, sits a mother with a baby;
        F#m
In her vale of tears, she sees no rainbow
               G             F#m
And someone's singing from a window
        Bm              A     G
In the mission of the sacred heart
 
 
   Chorus:
 
 A                G        F#7
Watching all the days roll by
 Bm                    Gm6
Who are you and who am I?

    Verse 4:
 
          Bm
There's a building on a corner, in a city, in a land
     F#m
On a place they call the planet Earth
                  G                      F#m
My orders are to sit here and watch the world go by
          Bm     A     G
From the mission of the sacred heart
