Lyrics
The world is out of control
The balance is lost
When will we realize where we're heading?
The lust for power and wealth is destroying the health
of all the beautiful creation
Stop! I need to get off!
These times are too confusing
Stop! I need to get off!
There's no time left for musing
The world has clearly forgotten the meaning of true justice
Since when is justice for so few?
Beware any chameleon bearing bent crosses
Why do so few make all the rules?
Stop! I need to get off!
These times are too confusing
Stop! I need to get off!
There's no time left for musing
Listen, with our hearts now
Listen, for our own truth now
Listen, with our souls now
Listen, we all play a part now
Our hearts lay silently breaking as the world is wasted
A deed of our own thoughtless making
In the dreamy unconscious lies an answer
When will the sleeping giant awaken?
Listen to the earth now
Listen, winds howl and rage now
Listen, to the sobs and sighs
All species are crying
Feel it, in our bones now
Cry out! Spill all our tears now
Rise up! Take a new course
Let's work to find a better way
(Instrumental bridge)
Together we can find the balance
to sustain the myriad forms of life
Together we can build new bridges
and work together for all time
Together is our last hope now
Together we can build a brand new life
Together while there's still some time left
Together say "Yes!" to all life
Sing out! Heads held high now
Shout out! Voices loud and clear now
Rise up! Declare a new way
Let's walk together
hand in hand
Together we can
find the balance
to sustain the myriad forms of life
Together we can
build new bridges
and work together for all time
Together is our last hope now
Together we can build a brand new life
Together while there's still some time left
Together say "Yes!" to all life
Sing out! Heads held high now
Shout out! Voices loud and clear now
Rise up! Declare a new way
Let's walk together
hand in hand
