HALFWAY AROUND THE WORLD (Mello, Mello) What kind of luck will the crow find If he flies in a straight line Halfway around the world Will he have a better chance If he flies from East to West Halfway around the world How interesting it is that we mistake Our birthplace as our birthright (when its) just the place we’re born Look at all of their dumb luck They got so much it’s piling up Halfway around the world So much sweat for so much stuff Never seems to be enough Halfway around the world How interesting it is that we don’t see Patterns we decorate our lives with Are unsatisfying Around, across town, halfway around the world Watching crows in Oakland, C A Wonder if he’ll fly today Halfway around the world Where someone else is watching too To see just what a crow will do Halfway around the world How interesting it is that we forget To live our lives tenderly And not so full of regret
