The Story Of OVO - Peter Gabriel (彼得·盖布瑞尔)[00:00:00]

A long time ago in a far away land[00:00:13]

Theo was the man who learned to understand[00:00:16]

The riches of the earth[00:00:20]

And all that it was worth[00:00:21]

The first man that ever tried to stand with his own plan[00:00:23]

Now this man was all about the wind rain and trees[00:00:27]

He knew that it would take care of all of his families[00:00:30]

Now Ion was the son who spent his nights and days[00:00:47]

Looking for all kinds of ways to get his father's praise[00:00:50]

In all daddy's ways he just wanted to impress[00:00:53]

Make it faster stronger is what he tried to stress[00:00:56]

Sofia was the girl[00:01:00]

Living in her own world[00:01:01]

She found love and joy with a young sky boy[00:01:03]

Sky boys were seen as less to the rest[00:01:07]

So it would seem[00:01:09]

Sofia went into the woods to daydream[00:01:10]

With love in her eyes[00:01:12]

Her own father would despise[00:01:15]

Her love for the young sky boy he would destroy[00:01:16]

Feet in the earth[00:01:21]

Heads in the sky[00:01:24]

We watch the world go by[00:01:27]

Feet in the earth[00:01:34]

Heads in the sky[00:01:37]

We watch as life goes by[00:01:40]

When Theo was gone his son Ion took the power[00:01:47]

And in his daddy's name he built the biggest strongest tower[00:01:50]

The earth people and sky people divided by machines[00:01:53]

And the ones who had nothing were the ones who had the wings[00:01:56]

The sky boy just wanted everything to be equal[00:02:00]

From full-time lover to now fighting for his people[00:02:03]

Now Beth was the mom[00:02:20]

Who really loved to weave[00:02:22]

She couldn't believe her own son would decieve[00:02:23]

The sky people got hungry and their welfare was ignored[00:02:27]

She let them in the tower and the bloody battle roared[00:02:29]

Down came iron and the tower fell as well[00:02:33]

The dark days were over and the sky people's hell[00:02:37]

Feet in the earth[00:02:40]

Heads in the sky[00:02:44]

We watch the world go by[00:02:47]

Feet in the earth[00:02:54]

Heads in the sky[00:02:57]

We watch as life goes by[00:03:01]

Sofia and the sky boy had long been kept apart[00:03:07]

Sofia grief was faded it was joy that filled her heart[00:03:10]

Wrapped in his loving wings Sofia took her man[00:03:13]

So the earth and sky united[00:03:17]

It was all father's plan[00:03:18]

Theo kept an acorn[00:03:34]

Sofia had carefully safely saved[00:03:35]

It was planted in the ground that her brother had once paved[00:03:37]

With a rustling and a creaking an unearthly sound[00:03:40]

Something big started growing right out of the fertile ground[00:03:43]

It was the biggest tree that any of the people ever seen[00:03:47]

And it covered up the sky with a layer of leafy green[00:03:50]

Then it rained and it rained and they watched the waters rise[00:03:53]

Then Sofia led her people to the safety of the skies[00:03:57]

Feet in the earth[00:04:02]

Heads in the sky[00:04:04]

We watch the world go by[00:04:07]

Feet in the earth[00:04:15]

Heads in the sky[00:04:17]

We watch as life goes by[00:04:20]

She climbed and she climbed[00:04:27]

But never giving up[00:04:28]

So pregnant and exhausted[00:04:30]

Finally made it to the top[00:04:32]

She looked into the sky and the world began to turn[00:04:33]

And with a single cry a new baby had arrived[00:04:37]

With OVO in his nest everyone one had done their best[00:04:40]

To prepare for the world and every single test[00:04:43]

Soon he was blessed and as his mother stood by[00:04:47]

He was soon released and sailed off into the sky[00:04:50]
