A new age
A new life
Well, they once said the end is near
A new day
A new light
It's funny that we're all still here
50 or a hundred years at best
The scientists put their hopes to rest
And foretold a future of death
But when an old dying tree has lost its power to grow
When a bruised and battered river threatens to overflow
Then it hurts to know that there's nothing you can do
So let it burst, so let it burst
Let it burst
