Did Galileo Pray |
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 |
Did Galileo pray? |
Did Galileo pray? |
Did Galileo pray? |
Did Galileo pray? |
And he said |
«Tell Ptolemy, tell Copernicus |
That the Sun is at the core of us |
The Church, the 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 |
In the heavens you’ll see it |
As God has conceived it |
Oh, believe it |
Oh, what 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 |
Don’t shoot the messenger, don’t shoot the messenger… |
