Saltwater

We are a rock revolving
Around a 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 the moon
But when I hear of how the forests have died
Saltwater wells in my eyes

I have lived for love
Now that's not enough
For the world I love is dying (And now I'm crying)
Time is not a friend (no friend of mine)
'Cause friends, we're out of time
And it's slowly passing by
Right before our eyes

We light the deepest ocean
Send photographs on Mars
We're so enchanted by how clever we are
Why should one baby feel so hungry she cries
Saltwater wells in my eyes

I have lived for love
Now that's not enough
For the world I love is dying (And now I'm crying)
Time is not a friend (no friend of mine)
'Cause friends, we're out of time
And it's slowly passing by
Right before our eyes

We are a rock revolving
Around a 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
