Paul Ellis - Did Galileo Pray? lyrics

Your rating:

                     

 When he looked

Into a starry sky upon jupiter

With it's cold moons

Making their weary rounds.



Did he know that the pope

Would claim that he ran with lucifer

And a prison cell

Would be where he'd lay his head down? 



Was he wearing a thorny crown? 

When he plotted the motion of planets

Was mercury in retrograde? 

But he found the truth when a lie was what was demanded.

When the judges asked him pointedly

He was a' trembling that day.



Chorus

Did galileo pray? 

Did galileo pray? 

Did galileo pray? 

Did galileo pray? 



And he said

"tell ptolemytell copernicus

That the sun is at the core of us

The churchthe pope

Can't deny the milky way



And every flower that follows the sun

Has known all along

What God had done

They whisper truth

As the seasons each give way.



Don't shoot the messenger

The postman delivers truth today.

And truth will march in birmingham

It will block the tanks in tiananmen.

Put the judges on the witness stand

Let's see what they all say.



Chorus



In the heavens you'll see it

As God has conceived it.

Ohbelieve it.

Ohwhat have you got to do to believe? 



Don't shoot the messenger

When the postman brings you truth today.

Because truth will march in birmingham

It will block the tanks in tiananmen

Put the judges on the witness stand

Let's see what they all say.



Chorus



Don't shoot the messengerdon't shoot the messenger¡­
