The speed of
sound turns
deafening when
past that fast
you zoom
Your noisy
wake will shake
and quake and
make a sonic
BOOM!
Although to
chase around
this place the
speed of sound’s
all right
The pace you
need to race
through space
exceeds the
speed of light
The instant that
you think you’re
there right then
and there you’ve
got
Until you find
you’ve changed
your mind then
just like that
you’re not
The instant that
you think you’re
there right then
and there you’ve
got
Until you find
you’ve changed
your mind then
just like that
you’re not
Some brains
claim it’s
impossible a
beam of light to
pass
They note you’d
change or
rearrange your
molecules or
mass
So quoted Albert
Einstein as the
cosmic truth he
taught
He wrote the
book yet
overlooked the
blazing speed of
thought
The instant that
you think you’re
there right then
and there you’ve
got
Until you find
you’ve changed
your mind then
just like that
you’re not
The instant that
you think you’re
there right then
and there you’ve
got
Until you find
you’ve changed
your mind then
just like that
you’re not
If ever you’ve
dreamed up a
scheme to visit
distant stars
To drop by
far-off galaxies
then stop for
lunch on Mars
Your flight may
take eight
million years
and still might
come to naught
Or you could
reach the stars
this minute at
the speed of
thought
The instant that
you think you’re
there right then
and there you’ve
got
Until you find
you’ve changed
your mind then
just like that
you’re not
The instant that
you think you’re
there right then
and there you’ve
got
Until you find
you’ve changed
your mind then
just like that
you’re not |
