This Is Far from Over
Though half of life is gone for good
And we haven't acted as we should
You feel it in your heart of wood
That this is far from over
Shorelines gone and maps destroyed
Livelihoods dissolved and void
Entire languages unheard
And still it's far from over
Be sure you teach your kids to swim
And navigate by stars above
The fate of landlocked life is grim
When you ignore our will to love
When all that's left is sea and sun
A lonely voice says, "All's not done
It's your child who will be the one
To sing it's far from over'"
A traveller upon the sea
Sings, "It's a sailor's life for me
I now embrace eternity
'Cause this is far from over"
You never know what she will find
When we are dead and she is sailing
Nor what new thoughts will cross her mind
As wind blows in her hair
Don't worry if all life is gone
The rocks and sea will still roll on
And new wild creatures will be born
As this is far from over
The whole world's far from over
And we haven't acted as we should
You feel it in your heart of wood
That this is far from over
Shorelines gone and maps destroyed
Livelihoods dissolved and void
Entire languages unheard
And still it's far from over
Be sure you teach your kids to swim
And navigate by stars above
The fate of landlocked life is grim
When you ignore our will to love
When all that's left is sea and sun
A lonely voice says, "All's not done
It's your child who will be the one
To sing it's far from over'"
A traveller upon the sea
Sings, "It's a sailor's life for me
I now embrace eternity
'Cause this is far from over"
You never know what she will find
When we are dead and she is sailing
Nor what new thoughts will cross her mind
As wind blows in her hair
Don't worry if all life is gone
The rocks and sea will still roll on
And new wild creatures will be born
As this is far from over
The whole world's far from over
