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 mountains

We'll make the desert bloom

We're so ingenious we can walk on the moon

But when I hear 'bout 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

Time is not a friend, 'cause friends we're out of time

And it's slowly passing by

Right before our eyes

We light the deepest oceans

Send photographs of stars

We're so enchanted by how clever we are

Why should one baby be 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

Time is not a friend, 'cause 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 god think of me the day that I die

Saltwater wells in my eyes.
