Lyrics
This world is borrowed from our children
This world is not our own
The earth made us, she can't do it again
Well let this be our Cornerstone
Now I see you Mother Nature
In everyone and everything
I hear you whisper softly to me
It is your message that I bring
All the zealous lies of politicians
Just boil down to the same sad measly schemes
Women cry, young men die
See the flag muffle their screams
Of all the wonders we inherit
Why keep this stupid game called war
It's such a simple question,
What could be worth killing for?
This world is borrowed from our children
This world is not our own
The earth made us, she can't do it again
Well let this be our Cornerstone
Cornerstone - before it's too late
Cornerstone - don't leave it up to fate to choose the
Cornerstone - when you know it's what we need or they'll be a
Tombstone - no one will ever read, sayin':
Here lies Mother Earth,
Cause of death was, giving birth, to a race of
People, with their heads in the sand
Fire in their eyes, and guns in their hands , a race of
People who learned how to shout and point their
Fingers, casting shadow of doubt
So now we're living on the razor's edge
We're sliding down, trying to find a ledge that we might
Jump to, but you know it isn't there, this planet is a
Spaceship flying through the air, this planet is a
Spaceship flying through the air, my planet is a
Spaceship, and this song is my prayer
Now I see you Mother Nature
In everyone and everything
I hear you whisper softly to me
It is your warning that we sing
This world is borrowed from our children
This world is not our own
The earth made us, she can't do it again
Well let this be our Cornerstone
