AS WE RISE
We?ve sailed the seas
And flown the skies
Yet we still can?t see humanity
In someone else?s eyes
We have raped the earth
We have clouded the air
Just to fill our pockets
With what we feel is our share
This world is crumbling
As we rise, as we rise
The life we know is tumbling
As we rise, as we rise
We must rethink our lives
As we rise, as we rise
Or we?ll have no ground to stand on
As we rise
We?ve somehow forgotten
That we?re all the same
And so righteously
We kill and we maim
Living in our minds
A path that we took
Thinking we?re above the rest
Due to a book
This world is crumbling
As we rise, as we rise
The life we know is tumbling
As we rise, as we rise
We must rethink our lives
As we rise, as we rise
Or we?ll have no ground to stand on
As we rise
We?ve lived life ignoring
The earth and her trees
And all but man is dwindling
Losing fish, birds and bees
We still can depart
From what we?ve begun
Readjust our thinking
And live life as one
This world is crumbling
As we rise, as we rise
The life we know is tumbling
As we rise, as we rise
We must rethink our lives
As we rise, as we rise
Or we?ll have no ground to stand on
As we rise
