PART l

Ice Caps are melting. Tides are turning
Wild, wild life is crying out in vain
Ozone depleting. Global Heating
Child, child with no future. What a shame
Can't you see the forest for the trees?
I forgot, we chopped them all down
Don't you know you're getting hard to please
Stop the rot before it comes 'round to you

Building fences. Strong defences
Keeps them in or does it keep us out?
Bridges burning, while seats of learning
Sow, sow into mind fields seeds of doubt
Can't you see it's getting hard to sleep?
Tossing and turning, not a moment's peace
Don't you know what you sow is what you reap
Wasted minute in a sea of apathy

You seek to justify a better way of life
The more things change the more they stay the same
Why do you quantify yet wield a two-edged knife?
For you to win must you destroy the game?

The walls between us are getting wider
Eye for eye is not the only way to go
Can't you see there's enough insanity?
Life as it is not as it should be
You lay down with dogs, you're gonna wake up with fleas
You're scratching the surface, not treating the disease
Justify the things we do to make a better place to live
You can't satisfy both me and you
There's so much of your life you've gotta give
But, do you know the way home from here?

PART ll

Tears well up in rheumy eyes as I recall the time
That all were silent, souls were torn apart
Hear the voices rising against an unseen foe
Terror in the minds and hearts
Vindicate the actions, can't do this anymore
When we gage reactions, when we're always keeping score
Give and take is lost on us, we're always wanting more and more

You ask the question 'Why I'm here and who are they?'
And 'What's been going on?'
And 'How could we let ourselves be led to such a place?'
Who is right and who is wrong?
It's the way we live and die in constant state of fear
All we do is cover weakness, don't shed a single tear
And every waking moment only serves to tell us why
There's no second chances here

You come to realise there's more to life than this
A bowl of dirt revolving 'round a distant sun
That everything that happens, happens for a reason
And not some twist of fate or cosmic roll of dice
So now's the time to breathe deep the atmosphere of love
And feel the warmth around you, and start to look above
The horizons of the many fears and doubts that cloud an open mind
PART lll

The walls between us come crashing down
Brother, my brother, the children hold the key
Finally see just where we need to be
Stand together, a greater destiny
Now you know you don't get it all for free
Will it Take you, elevate you, re-generate you

No need to justify a better way of life
The more we change the more we realise
It's time to satisfy the yearning deep within
And know the meaning of the sacrifice
