Unitopia - What kind of world lyrics

I saw the tiny heart beat, I heard the life alive Every moment growing, preparing for arrival In a world that's yet unseen, what new wonders lie in wait? Will the hope arrive on Eden's ground, or the fire be quenched with hate? There is no iron clad guarantee What will it take for us to realise that it's not the way it's supposed to be? What kind of world are we leaving? What legacy remains? Modern marvels or ruined world Cast adrift with sails unfurled What kind of world? We stand upon a precipice, we look out over lands We see the evidence of us, the working of our hands A dusty arid wasteland or lush and verdant plains Smoke filled yellow heavens or sweet refreshing rain There is no iron clad guarantee What will it take for us to realise that it's not the way it's supposed to be? What kind of world are we leaving? What legacy remains? Modern marvels or ruined world Cast adrift with sails unfurled What kind of world? What kind of world? Flying by at a blinding pace Everything changes Inner self or outer space It all rearranges Happenstance and happenings Occurring every day But when it comes to this human race All that really happens is we remain the same Warning bells and battle cries we're hearing every day But like the boy who cried of wolves We only hear… what we want to hear And what we want to hear… is not the truth If it was, then it would set us free, but caged we are… by our effrontery. Second chances, third degrees and frightened children's tears Doesn't stop the wound so deep We only hear… what we choose to hear And what we choose to hear… won't hide the truth If it did, then darkness claims the throne, but don't forget, that we're not alone We're not alone… Where does it all end? Now we've come so far. Is it all too late? Can we turn back time? In a world so badly broken, in a world so starved of joy Have we desecrated Eden's ground, have we all come to destroy? There is no iron clad guarantee What will it take for us to realise that it's not the way it's supposed to be? What kind of world are we leaving? What legacy remains? Modern marvels or ruined world Cast adrift with sails unfurled What kind of world?
