Creatures of Habit
Cecilia Eng
GENRE
We're creatures of habit, afraid of the unknown
Afraid of being different, afraid to be alone
The tried way is the best way, or so it always seems
But we're creatures of habit who aren't afraid to dream
They say that we had paradise when ignorance was bliss
They say that human knowledge was what sent things amiss
Well, one man's paradise is oft another person's hell
And if we had found another dream, perhaps it's just as well
For we're creatures of habit, afraid of the unknown
Afraid of being different, afraid to be alone
The tried way is the best way, or so it always seems
But we're creatures of habit who aren't afraid to dream
They said the Earth was square and flat, that it had corners four
They said that you'd fall off it if you sailed away from shore
It goes to prove you can't believe just anything they say;
Some dreamer's going to try to do what can't be done one day
Cause we're creatures of habit, afraid of the unknown
Afraid of being different, afraid to be alone
The tried way is the best way, or so it always seems
But we're creatures of habit who aren't afraid to dream
They said it was a waste of time to build flying machines;
If man was really meant to fly, God would have made him wings
So when you're sipping cocktails on a mid-Atlantic flight
Drink a toast to all the dreamers who brought you to that height!
Cause we're creatures of habit, afraid of the unknown
Afraid of being different, afraid to be alone
The tried way is the best way, or so it always seems
But we're creatures of habit who aren't afraid to dream
They said that building rockets was another waste of cash
That man was never meant for space, the craze would never last
Well, we've been to the Moon and back and left our footprints there;
Our shuttle flights are monthly now, with cargo space to spare
And we're creatures of habit, afraid of the unknown
Afraid of being different, afraid to be alone
The tried way is the best way, or so it always seems
But we're creatures of habit who aren't afraid to dream
They say the stars are out of reach, too far away to roam
They say the speed of light's a wall that'll keep mankind at home
That interstellar travel's an escapist sci-fi dream—
Well, that may be, but I, for one, am not afraid to dream!
We're creatures of habit, afraid of the unknown
Afraid of being different, afraid to be alone
The tried way is the best way, or so it always seems
But we're creatures of habit who aren't afraid to dream
Afraid of being different, afraid to be alone
The tried way is the best way, or so it always seems
But we're creatures of habit who aren't afraid to dream
They say that we had paradise when ignorance was bliss
They say that human knowledge was what sent things amiss
Well, one man's paradise is oft another person's hell
And if we had found another dream, perhaps it's just as well
For we're creatures of habit, afraid of the unknown
Afraid of being different, afraid to be alone
The tried way is the best way, or so it always seems
But we're creatures of habit who aren't afraid to dream

Afraid of being different, afraid to be alone
The tried way is the best way, or so it always seems
