Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
We climb the highest mountain
We'll make the desert bloom
We're so ingenious we can walk on the moon
But when I hear of how the forests have died
Saltwater wells in my eyes
[Verse 3]
I have lived for love
But now that's not enough
For the world I love is dying (And now I'm crying)
And time is not a friend (No friend of mine)
'Cause friends, we're out of time
And it's slowly passing by
Right before our eyes
[Verse 4]
We light the deepest ocean
Send photographs of Mars
We're so enchanted by how clever we are
Why should one baby feel so hungry she cries
Saltwater wells in my eyes
[Verse 5]
I have lived for love
But now that's not enough
For the world I love is dying (And now I'm crying)
And time is not a friend (No friend of mine)
'Cause friends, we're out of time
And it's slowly passing by
Right before our eyes
[Verse 6]
We are a rock revolving
Around a golden sun
We are a billion children rolled into one
What will I think of me the day that I die
Saltwater wells in my eyes
Saltwater wells in my eyes
