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…
