Oh My Word - a-ha True North 2022 Songwriter: Paul Waaktaar-Savoy ----------------------------------------------------- Image: Hubble Space Telescope/NASA, ESA, STScI Date: 19/04/2018 Lagoon Nebula (Messier 8) Constellation: agittarius Distance: 4000 light-years At the center of the photo, a monster young star 200,000 times brighter than our Sun is blasting powerful ultraviolet radiation and hurricane-like stellar winds, carving out a fantasy landscape of ridges, cavities, and mountains of gas and dust. --------------------------------- OH MY WORD Oh my word How to begin When it's more Than you can take in Birds are flying In the sky Seagulls crying Above you and I Oh my word When you are down Lift your gaze Up from the ground The sun is rising In the sky Unsurprising Yet it catches the eye Sad days Belong to the past Only a fool Could expect them to last Fist clenched Tears in the eyes Awaiting the moment When it subsides Birds are flying Way up high Seagulls crying As am I Sun is rising In the sky Unsurprising Yet it catches the eye Heydays Belong to the past Only a fool Could expect it to last Fist clenched Tears in the eyes I stand alone In diminishing light Oh my word Oh my word Oh my word Oh my word
