our world is here, our time is now
why can’t you stop and see it?
i see you there, i see you’re lost
i have to let you be it
would you really leave it all alone?
just leave it all to die?
but why, you silly darling?
why, why, why, why?
why would you burn it all away
when nothing has to go?
why cast it all as useless
in your little one-man show?
don’t you know how safe you are
ever cared for, ever loved?
won’t you feel the place you are
the soils and skies above?
why would you destroy this
as if it were the only way?
can it be that you enjoy this?
it’s not for me to say –
but me, i feel you’re crying
and you don’t know how to see
i think deep down you’re crying
and your tears flow out through me.
i’m sad you hurt, soft tender one
sad for life itself and you
that you should feel so cut away
while the ocean shimmers blue
cause you are me and i am them
and so are all the flowers
and so’s the moon and so’s the trees
and so are all your powers
it blows my mind to see the things
you feel you have to do
at all the hurts and all the lies
that you believe are true
sweet human scared, you hurt yourself
and how that’s hurting me
i feel the ache, i feel your pain
i wish you’d be set free
i weep for you and hope for you
i hope you find your heart
cause me, i can’t but see a world
of culture, wine and art
you can curse the world until you die
and i’ll still love your spirit
you are the world and so am i
i hope one day you’ll hear it
i hope you’ll pause and hear the wind
who is calling out your name
i hope you’ll feel the bright warm sun
who’s shining just the same
the earth will not forget you
not the rivers or the dunes
but i can’t change your journey
can’t make you heal your wounds
please know that i forgive you
though you kill instead of kiss
and i love you, my lost brother
you are so much more than this
i know you have the strength inside
to find your inner light
you also have the choice to hide
and it still would be alright.
if you killed me, i wouldn’t die
and if you move to mars
we all return from whence we came
our bodies are the stars
fearful dear, alive yet dead
oh, how you make me wait
i can’t sit around much longer
you won’t decide my fate
i heard you say that nothing matters
a story borne of grieving
even if you think the world can burn
i gotta keep believing
cause i believe in magic
and i believe in love
i sense, i know, i feel, i am
below and high above
i’ll grow a life so beautiful
i can’t help but always feel
that all the good in all the world
is alive and well and real
and if you never believe it,
well, i’ll still know it’s true.
you can always come to see it
i’ll always welcome you.
