I half remember an old sci-fi short story about the whole of humanity walking in to the sea after a satellite network was completed, and you can't say it didn't come true. What other prophecies lie in the dusty pages of paperbacks?
lyrics
In the night the planets moved silently overhead
They filled the sky like fireworks, like waves of golden light
so bright
Raise up your voice to the distant constellations
Fires on the roofs, and the hills around the town
Run through the streets, how lucky to be
here to see these things, that no-one else has seen
It started slowly, like the tides I guess, I felt it too
Howling, weeping, beating, falling, feelings forcing through
and you
Raise up your voice to the distant constellations
Fires on the roofs, and the hills around the town
All the night long, sing all your songs for the changes yet to come
and the change already done
Raise up your voice to the distant constellations
Fires on the roofs, and the hills around the town
Run through the streets, how lucky to be
here to see these things, that no-one else has seen
