The Earth Is
Air Supply · The Earth Is...
And a tear fills his eyes as he tries to hang on
Holding his world together
There's a girl in the other half of the sky
And she's wondering why her planet should sigh
Don't you want me 'round forever
The earth is too small to be divided
Sunrise, moonfall, deep in the heart
A part of everyone
And we can't wait anymore, the time has come
And those who need something more will feel the sun
We're sharing one
The earth is too small to be divided
Sunrise, moonfall, deep in the heart
A part of everyone
And we can't wait anymore, the time has come
You've got your foot in the door
Get through somehow, break through somehow
The earth is too small to be divided
Sunrise, moonfall, deep in the heart
A part of everyone

As a lead single from the album of the same name, it exemplifies the era's polished production style, characterized by sweeping strings and emotive melodies that became hallmarks of their discography. The recording captures the romantic and reflective mood typical of the duo's work during this period, contributing significantly to their status as one of the most successful acts of the decade.
