We are a rock revolving
Around the golden Sun
We are a billion children rolled into one
So when I hear about the hole in the sky
Saltwater wells in my eyes
We climb the highest mountain
We'll make the desert bloom
We're so ingenious we can walk on a Moon
But when I hear about the forest have died
Saltwater wells in my eyes
I have lived for love
But now that's not enough
For the world I love is dying (and now I'm crying)
And time is not a friend (no friend of mine)
As friends we're out of time
And it's slowly passing by (passing by)
Right before our eyes
We light the deepest ocean
Send photographs of Mars
We're so enchanted how clever we are
Why should one baby feel so hungry she cries
Saltwater wells in my eyes
We are a rock revolving
Around the golden Sun
We are a billion children rolled into one
So when I hear about the hole in the sky
Saltwater wells in my eyes
I have lived for love
But now that's not enough
For the world I love is dying (and now I'm crying)
And time is not a friend (no friend of mine)
As friends we're out of time
And it's slowly passing by
Right before our eyes
We are a rock revolving
Around the golden Sun
We are a billion children rolled into one
What will I think of me the day that I die
Saltwater wells in my eyes
Saltwater wells in my eyes
