This Is Far From Over

Though half of life is gone for good And we haven't acted as we should You feel it in your heart of wood That this is far from over Shorelines gone and maps destroyed Livelihoods dissolved and void Entire languages unheard And still it's far from over Be sure you teach your kids to swim And navigate by stars above The fate of landlocked life is grim When you ignore our will to love When all that's left is sea and sun A lonely voice says, "All's not done It's your child who will be the one To sing it's far from over'" A traveller upon the sea Sings, "It's a sailor's life for me I now embrace eternity 'Cause this is far from over" You never know what she will find When we are dead and she is sailing Nor what new thoughts will cross her mind As wind blows in her hair Don't worry if all life is gone The rocks and sea will still roll on And new wild creatures will be born As this is far from over The whole world's far from over
