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 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
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)
As friends, we’re out of time
And it’s slowly passing by
Right before our eyes
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
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)
As 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 I think of me the day that I die?
Saltwater wells in my eyes
Saltwater wells in my eyes
