To Keep the World We Know

Haze hangs over hills Bright in the morning breeze It's warm in the endless sunshine Not so good to breathe Smoke of a thousand fires Filling up the sky All around the great wide world Forecast, warm and dry Hills of California Romania and France Algeria, Australia Siberia's expanse The countryside of Greece and Spain The Amazon the same From the tundra to the tropics Our world's gone up in flames Hey hey hey Hey hey hey Even up north in Iqaluit Where there's not a tree for miles Fire shoots out, the kitchen tap Apocalyptic style Waters rise, grassland dries Mother Earth, she weeps Willful ignorance and greed Prevail while reason sleeps There are people who live to believe In the good we all can make There are people who live to believe In how much they can take Ashes and mudslides all around Is this any way to go? Got to think past your bank account To keep the world we know Hey hey hey (takvatuak silarjuak) Hey hey hey (tamnatuummat silarjuak) Hey hey hey (unatuummat silarjuak) Hey hey hey (tamnatuummat silarjuak) There's a drive to live at the heart of things Gotta sink a pipe into that spring And let it water everything To keep the world we know There's a drive to live at the heart of things Gotta sink a pipe into that spring And let it water everything To keep the world we know To keep the world we know To keep the world we know
