Lyrics

?Stars.? Lyrics:Meryl Leppard music: Meryl leppard &Warwick Bone c.1996
Who made the mountains
Is that where heaven is
How do I get there from here
And I wonder
How come the birds fly
I?ve always wanted to
Somehow that doesn?t seem fair
Someone tell me where do I go to
When my body?s fast asleep
Cause I remember Mars
Is something looking down on me
From the stars

Who made the thunder
Why does the lightning strike
Is there a war in the sky
Who invented
Leaves changing colour
Before they all fall down
Carpets of gold you can?t buy
Who can tell me
Why is there hunger
When we can put men on the moon
And say that it?s not far
Have they seen
What?s looking down on us
From the stars

Here we are
Thinking we?re all alone
We are the chosen ones
We are the free
But there?s so many places to go
So many worlds to explore
We should know
In our hearts
That there?ll be something waiting

Tell me of dying
What is it all about
How can we just slip away
Someone please explain
Where we go to
Someone must understand
It happens everyday
I would like to know what the whales sing
It?s a mystery to me
Yet it fills my heart
Do they know
Who?s looking down on us
From the stars
Who?s looking down on us from the stars.
