Lyrics
Racing the Sun Undone
Lyrics:
Verse 1:
We chew our food to feed our brain, talkin' 'bout the rain,
Sun and soil, honeybees in turmoil.
Floods and fires in our yards, bodies burnt or drown, it's hard,
A fall from heights,
in a smoggy light.
Chorus:
We're racing the sun, in a world undone,
Overshoot, as the roots of our being mute.
Nature's power, in the twilight hour,
Humanity's test, as we quest for the rest (For the rest) of time.
Verse 2:
Crops won't grow, where the wild winds blow,
Heat climbs, changin' times.
Starship Earth, what's our worth? (not much)
Burning fast, shadows we cast.
Bridge:
Not just a crisis in the backyard,
But a battle in every forlorn yard,
Exponential ignorance, our disregard,
Facing the heat, we cannot play our part!
Chorus:
We're racing the sun, in a world undone,
Overshoot, as the roots of our being mute.
Nature's power, in the twilight hour,
Humanity's test, as we quest for the rest (For the rest) of time.
Verse 3:
Past to present, in the bread crumbs from the Ancient sentient,
Their grounded lore drowned out as the oceans roar.
We Can't tame, what we can't name,
Living this Great Mystery, in our
Very Short history.
Outro:
So here we stand, with wisdom at hand,
Let's face our fate, Is it too late? (it's too late)
Stars and spirits guide us to see
The only way out is ,
To live, (to live),
in harmony.
