|
We are a rock revolving |
|
Around a golden sun |
|
We are a billion children |
|
Rolled into one |
|
So when I hear about |
|
The hole in the sky |
|
Saltwater wells in my eyes |
|
We climb the highest mountain |
|
We'll make the desert bloom |
|
We're so ingenious |
|
We can walk on the moon |
|
But when I hear of how |
|
The forests have died |
|
Saltwater wells in my eyes |
|
I have lived for love |
|
But now that's not enough |
|
For the world I love is dying |
|
(And now I'm crying) |
|
And time is not a friend |
|
(No friend of mine) |
|
As friends we're out of time |
|
And it's slowly passing by |
|
Right before our eyes |
|
We light the deepest ocean |
|
Send photographs of Mars |
|
We're so enchanted by |
|
How clever we are |
|
Why should one baby |
|
Feel so hungry she cries |
|
Saltwater wells in my eyes |
|
I have lived for love |
|
But now that's not enough |
|
For the world I love is dying |
|
(And now I'm crying) |
|
And time is not a friend |
|
(No friend of mine) |
|
As friends we're out of time |
|
And it's slowly passing by |
|
Right before our eyes |
|
We are a rock revolving |
|
Around a golden sun |
|
We are a billion children |
|
Rolled into one |
|
What will I think of me |
|
The day that I die |
|
Saltwater wells in my eyes |
|
Saltwater wells in my eyes |
