Like hairs on an arm are the trees on the Earth
And we are the insects that give ourselves worth
And to rid of the pests she must fully render
Something more natural what we call disaster
It's the balance she needs when the scales start to tip
Too much of that when her body cries this
It's not to be cruel but to teach you to bloom
You were made of the dirt of the stars and the moon
They tell us to see, but they black out our eyes
They tell us to breathe when the waters will rise
They tell us we're free and they slave us with lies
This is what it's like when a planet cries
Watch them all squirm, see them all crawl
Pulling down mountains and building up walls
Leaving their homes in the forest and trees
Selling their lives for big words and dreams
So just take a moment to smell all the flowers
Enjoy the fresh air, sing to stars for five hours
Don't get caught up in the place they created
Give love back to nature, life's all what you make it
They tell us to see, but they black out our eyes
They tell us to breath when the waters will rise
Get under your skin and tear gas our eyes
This is what it's like when a nation dies
Like hairs on an arm are the trees on the Earth
And we are the insects that give ourselves worth
And to rid of the pests she must fully render
Something more natural what we call disaster
It's the balance she needs when the scales start to tip
Too much of that when her body cries this
It's not to be cruel but to teach you to bloom
You were made of the dirt of the stars and the moon
They tell us to see, but they black out our eyes
They tell us to breathe when the waters will rise
They tell us we're free and they slave us with lies
This is what it's like when a planet cries
