Well God gave you the world    On the day that you were born    So how you going to save it, my child      God gave you a soul    So how you going to use it   How you going to use it      A dark place so far off in the distance   You couldn't see me but I could and kept calling back   Far across the forest a soul leaves a falling   You were falling down too, I wanted to hold you   A great heart, a great love   I can't love, you caught it   The greatest closer from a great heart      God gave you the world   On the day that you were born   So how you going to save it, my child      God gave you a soul    So how you going to use it   How you going to use it, now      Everything I am something that i seem    Because of my mother's genes   Everything i want is something that I've had Because my father's love   I dream of stopping waves, she said   I dream of stopping waves   Tears are falling down my cheeks   Into my soup again      God gave you the world    On the day that you were born   So how you going to save it, my child      God gave you the stars    So how you going to save them   How you going to save them, now      As the crow flies   I see the world from a bird's eye view   History like a trebuchet   Throws me back to you   The higher climb, the further you fall   The higher the climb, the further the fall   I gave you the stars, you wasted them child   You threw them away      Well God gave you the world   On the day that you were born   So how you going to save it, my child      God gave you the stars so   How you going to save them    How you going to save them, now---      God gave you the world   So how you going to save it   How you going to save it, now---
