Living Things

歌詞

Long ago I hated cities Didn't want to live in one All dreams they headed North Where Colorado waters run I was young thought all I needed Were virgin mountains wild ground And while I still believe in those things I also need my friends around We've begun to notice lately What we've done to this old Earth She making storms, I think she's saying Can't you see I'm really hurt I don't know just how to change it Holy Father, hear my prayer We see our Mother worn and weak And we're all left abandoned here Chorus: We need to rediscover passion So we can feel this world again Oh deep denial you're the dragon And we're the fragile living things We're the fragile living things I no longer see the city As just a place to get out of With all the lost and lonely people We're here to show each other love We can't do it scared and scattered Hidden on some mountain top Thought we've all been torn and tattered I hope we're far from giving up And what we're seeing sometimes hurts us All the anger, fear and pain They're only rising to the surface To be replaced with love again With love again All the world is now a city Though overgrown, it's our hometown Tender planet bearing many Let's throw our useless weapons down We can watch animals living No longer need to shed their blood Frutile grains and fruits we're given Release the beasts they gave enough And we'll recall what we've forgotten From long ago the world is good And now at last the trance is broken And we'll explore our humanhood We'll become our humanhood
