Plant a tree on a mountainside
Plant a tree by the sea
Wait for something, life expectant
Something real and important
We could find a way to alleviate - perhaps we could if it wasn't so late
I would do anything, I have promised thee
Water the withering tree
Water the withering tree
And here again in the littered city, upturned cars and toppled chairs
The sleeping boy, oh what a pity, unruly water everywhere
A prayer and a dream
Sacrifice, burn down your home
Sacrifice, retrieve alone
Sacrifice, and don't get taken
Sacrifice, and left forsaken
Is it still a sacrifice if we're all gone?
The people are running for cover
Without their shirts on their backs
A long trip inside a celebration
We'll take more care with our preparation
Re-do the garden in your own taste, wash your hands and place them on her waist
In the beginning was the word, the word of our Lord
Doors recoil of their own accord
Doors recoil of their own accord
And here again in the littered city, upturned cars and toppled chairs
The sleeping boy, oh what a pity, unruly water everywhere
A prayer and a dream
Sacrifice, burn down your home
Sacrifice, retrieve alone
Sacrifice, and don't get taken
Sacrifice, and left forsaken
Is it still a sacrifice if we're all gone?
If we're all gone?
If we're all gone?
