I woke up this morning And I asked the sun I said you have watched this human race And how far we've come You shined on our fields When we first learned to plant Beat down on our shields As we battled for land Beat down on our backs As we built cities to the sky Now can you tell me Mr. Sun Do you think we'll survive?
His voice was thunderous As he replied The heavens broke the soil shook And fire filled the sky He said that we're loosing a battle within Spent all that money on that oil and war And there's not much left to pay off your sins So lay down your axes And sheathe your bloody swords For I can tell you my son Its gonna take a lot more love to survive this world
Later that evening I preyed to the earth I said oh mamma are you sick And can you tell me where it hurts She said that she's choking She can hardly breathe She says she suffers more than she lets on Just so we have a place for our feet You ignorant bastards What to do with nothing left? For I can tell you my son Its gonna take a lot more love to survive this world
