Will we hold onto the light
Or just play until it fades?
Will we draw a curtain across the sky
And count down all our days?
Will our veins be filled with sand
And our hearts be filled with ache?
When the desert takes the land
And the ground begins to shake
Ground begins to shake
Ground begins to shake
Oh, let's sing now a song 'til all seas become calm
'Til all selves become one another
And then sing it again to remember where we've been
All we've lost and all we've learnt from each other
Will the winds above the lake
And the flowers in the glen
One night sleep and never wake
One night dream a darkened end?
Will all power turn to pain
When the birds take flight and leave?
Will our intellect come save us
Or fail us when in need
Or fail us when in need
Fail us when in need
Oh, let's sing now a song 'til all seas become calm
'Til all selves become one another
And then sing it again to remember where we've been
All we've lost and all we've learnt from each other
To the long-forgotten fields
Where your childhood memories lay
To all the trees you ever climbed
And the rivers where you bathed
To all tomorrows shores
That your children all will comb
To the comets and the stars
That they'll be wishing on
They'll be wishing on
They'll be wishing on
Oh, let's sing now a song 'til all seas become calm
'Til all selves become one another
And then sing it again to remember where we've been
All we've lost and all we've learnt from each other
