Speed of Sound

How long before I get in
Before it starts, before I begin?
How long before you decide
Before I know what it feels like?

Where to? Where do I go?
If you never try, then you'll never know
How long do I have to climb
Up on the side of this mountain of mine?

Look up, I look up at night
Planets are moving at the speed of light
Climb up, up in the trees
Every chance that you get is a chance you seize

How long am I gonna stand
With my head stuck under the sand?
I'll start before I can stop
Before I see things the right way up

All that noise, all that sound
All those places I got found
And birds go flyin' at the speed of sound
To show you how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it, then you'd understand
