Five Proofs the Earth is Round.
Like a Globe. A basketball 🏀 a grapefruit … like the Moon and the Sun and all the other planets.
Oh, the ships that sail, they vanish from view,
A bow dips down, the mast says adieu—
If the world were flat, they'd just fade away,
But the curve takes 'em, that's what I say.
Five proofs the Earth is round, my dear,
A spinning globe, so crystal clear.
No edge to fall, no flat to fear,
Five proofs the Earth is round, my dear.
The stars above, they shift as you roam,
A northern sky, or a southern dome.
If flat it stayed, the view wouldn’t bend,
But the globe insists, it twists to no end.
Oh, gravity pulls us to the ground,
No pancake here, it’s a merry-go-round!
Five proofs the Earth is round, my dear,
A spinning globe, so crystal clear.
No edge to fall, no flat to fear,
Five proofs the Earth is round, my dear.
Shadows on the moon, a crescent’s grace,
Earth's own curve leaves its trace.
And if you fly, oh, high in the sky,
The horizon bends, no need to lie!
