Nice work!

Looking out on the world
Thinking about all the ways
We could have done better
And then I’m thinking about yesterday
We really thought we knew the way didn’t we?

Looking out on the world
Thinking about all the places, people living in worry
Gets me wondering what that really means
Thinking about community
And living in each other’s dreams
We’re living in each other’s dreams

Looking out on the world
I take a step back
Lost in the beauty
How come we never thought ‘we’re gonna miss this?’
How come we never thought ‘we’re gonna miss this?’

In the last 500 years,
human activity is known
to have forced
nearly a thousand
species
to extinction

How come we never thought ‘we’re gonna miss this?’
How come we never thought ‘we’re gonna miss this?’

Looking out on the world
Thinking about all the ways we’re gonna get better
No more ravaging the seven seas
No more navigating travesties
You know we had better
You know we had better

Looking out on the world
I take a step back
Lost in the beauty
Lost in the beauty

Just before you started your day
I wanted to say
With great appreciation
Headed your way

Go softly, untroubled
Create reciprocal sensations
With wonder, discover
This day, with greater fascination

Cherish every moment today
Don’t throw ‘em away
Wander in the wonder
Claim your inspiration

Go softly, untroubled
Create reciprocal sensations
With wonder, discover
This day, with greater fascination

Go softly, untroubled
Create reciprocal sensations
With wonder, discover
This day, with greater fascination

Just before you started your day
I wanted to say
I wish you, Good Day
I wish you, Good Day

Universal
Kindness
Mercy
Tolerance
Affection
Inclination
Appreciation
Adulation

Commonality
Trust
Affinity
Generosity
Unity
Harmony
Felicity
Serenity

An end to greed
An end to indifference
An end to destruction
Safe Keeping
Coexistence

Complying, Decrying
Descended, Defended
Shooting stars light up night sky
And time ticks on
The same old wrong
Shooting stars light up night sky
Looks like more stormy weather

What wisdom, Athena?
What curse has been cast upon this race?
Turn around and face the music
Turn around and face the music
Time for change
Whoever it is should let go of the reins
And turn around and face the music

We stand up
Committed
And say we won’t stand for it
Athena
Turn around and face the music

It was the story of all stories
Once upon a time, Glory turned to greed
There was a world rich with potential
Drenched with promise and beauty
Magical indeed
It could satisfy your every need, no reason for greed
Yet greed it was that destroyed her
This relentless insatiable need
They could never be pleased
Not for a moment in time
Walked by The Tree of Knowledge
Locked and loaded
Oblivious to peace
Glory turned to greed
[EARTH][FIRE] Air and Water
Ever after
The Beauty and the Beast
The Legend of The Free
And it wasn’t that they didn’t know
They knew that they were free
They found the scattered wisdom seeds
but they were gimme gimme me me me
Until one day there was nothing left for greed
They surrendered the keys to the sea
Set their sights on a far away galaxy
Just for a moment in time
It was just for a moment...

40,000 feet and 500 miles an hour
All I can think of is this willow tree
Holding grace by the lake
So tall and wide she stands with pride
Wanting nothing more than to be
I miss the willow tree

Gotta get out of this cage
Get away from the rage
Gonna go see where the birds drop down to make families
What the hell?
Where’d the marsh go?
‘Single family dwellings, Live by the lake’

All we really do is take, take, take!
You call this progress?
We take and take and take - take take take
You call this progress?
We take and take and take and take and take

Wanting nothing more than to be

You call this progress?
We take and take and take - take take take

We can do better than this
Get away from the rage

We can do better than this

Wanting nothing more than to be
