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   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 light the deepest ocean   Send photographs of 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   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 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   Saltwater wells in my eyes
