Why Is It

And once I was dreaming of rolls of water
When the cracks in my skin
Were just stories of the see
And when all my thoughts
Were diving into melted pools of golden ivory

As time grows older
Will you be the change
That you bring to their hopes
That they believe in?
Why is it?

That we can't exist in peace?
Until our worlds collide
And colours flood the sky
Why is it?

Thinking about the future
Even though we're still young
And we're fearing the future
Although it's already begun

And we're scared of the hands
Holding power in days to come
And your eyes see fields of green
Plastic fish and bodies in flee

As time grows older
Will you be the change
That you bring to their hopes
That they believe in?
Why is it?

That we can't exist in peace?
Until our worlds collide
And colours flood the sky
Why is it?

Is this the way the world
The way the world, the way the world
Is this the way the world is gonna turn
Is this the way the water will burn

Is this, is this, is this
The way the world is gonna turn
Is this the way the water will burn
