Witness the moon,
Half it's size.
Once 'round the cycle,
It'll be twice as wise.
Lips to the morning dew,
Kissing spring, as if life were new.
Underneath the snow lies grass that's still green.
Below the soil lies roots, oh they are still thriving.
Always looking for some sort of answer, praytell why?
Don't you think that maybe there's some reason why we still haven't found it?
It's not like I can,
Just give you where I began.
All I can do is,
Show you my hands.
I used to think that they,
were empty and cold.
Then I look down and I see that,
They're finally growing on me oh they,
Oh they tell me what I need to see,
They show me what I need to hear.
I refuse to be a part of multiple multi-faceted industries,
That profit directly from mental, physical, illness and disease.
Capitalizing on the tension and unease are bright shiny toys,
designed to detract from us, to distract us from magick we keep at bay.
Every time we accelerate we change the face of the planet,
our fate and our legacy's too, tryin' to keep ourselves up to date, another update to make.
On behalf of the forest, on behalf of the trees,
The time has come, the time has come.
On behalf of the oceans, on behalf of the seas,
The time has come, the time has come.
Do you really think that we,
Have come so far form history?
That we won't repeat it unintentionally,
Out of lack of love, and empathy?
Do you really think that we,
Have come so far form history?
That we won't repeat it unintentionally,
Out of lack of love, and empathy?
