From the river comes the rain
It cycles through again
From the earth we all became
And in the ground we'll end
Doesn't matter what you say
If you're not gonna change
Someone else will fix this place
While you sit back and waste
Maybe we're all learning
There's more to life than what we're earning
Give me one good reason
To care about the world we're leaving
I'm a decent person
I didn't think that I was hurting
Anyone but myself
Go ahead and say your prayers
I hope he or she cares
Maybe it will make you smile
While you're stuck in denial
We're fixed on our old ways
In these modern days
But things are changing fast
To the place that we say is vast
Maybe we're all learning
There's more to life than what we're earning
Give me one good reason
To care about the world we're leaving
I'm a decent person
I didn't think that I was hurting
Anyone but myself
When you take your hand
And run it through the sand
Do you feel more grounded
Or the earth spinning around?
When you feel the wind
Do you start to live again?
This place that we call home
Is under our control
Our control
Is under our control
Under our control
Under our
