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
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
