I, I've known the wind to take the fallen leaves

To waltz them into the spiralling breeze

And I've known the moon to hang till morning beams

I've known the sun and its retiring gleam

Oh!

I've known the trees to sway in perfect peace

I've known this life to be a beautiful dream

And I've known mankind to live in drooling greed

I've known my race to scream and stamp its feet

Oh I've, I've known

The touch of the sun like the love of a mum

And I trust in that love

'Cause it comes from something much bigger than us

Look at us: what a bunch!

Out there running amok, steady lusting for love

Show gratitude with the butts of our guns

We lost touch with our mum, corrupted her trust

As if she couldn't live after we turn to dust

That's the greed, never-ending spiral of need

Breathe, doesn't that feel like peace?

But we'd rather harbour darker parts of our ensemble disregarding heartfelt laughter

And the disaster in our karma

And time is moving faster and faster

And time is moving faster and faster and ... faster

Oh, and I, I've witnessed people think they're in the lead

I've witnessed them think such must be their deed

Yeah I've witnessed people think they're in the lead

I've witnessed them think such must be their deed
