I'm breathing with a sinking earth
Gasping for breath, feeling hurt
Showing my rage as I turn the pages
Reading the words and between the spacesCould it be, could it only be
The love we've lost was all we got?
Tell me the earth turns for the worst
I'll tell your words are blind and cursedI'm waiting for the world to change
Turn around, change the way
We breed ignoration of beauty and creation
A non-stop battle with life in the saddleCould it be, could it only be
The things that have been left to bleed?
Tell me now with all honesty
This precious world of yours is freeAnd if you see me staring
You know that I'm not here
I'm searching for reasons to overcome the fearThey're here, they're here around me
He stands, he stands beside me
Could it be, could it only be?Competing with the loud demands
See the sights and hear the sounds
Of desperation of war and creation
The earth must cost and now we're fakingCould it be, could it only be
Chances slip through our fingertips?
Tell me the earth turns for the worse
I'll tell your words are not the firstAnd if you see me staring
You know that I'm not here
I'm searching for reasons to overcome the fearThey're here, they're here around me
He stands, he stands beside me
Could it be, could it only be?And if you see me staring
You know that I'm not here
I'm searching for reasons to overcome the fearThey're here, they're here around me
He stands, he stands beside me
They're here, they're here around me
He stands, he stands beside me
Could it be, could it only be?
