Stand by, stand by We thought our lives were meant to last We thought bad dreams were in the past We thought forever was eternity And if we, we try together we can climb The highest mountains any time We'll live forever and eternally Cause I can see stars taking cover Stand by, I can see birds start to hover Stand by, don't forget nature's our mother Stand by, raised by the sand, stand, stand I can see water is breaking Stand by, I can see people forsaking Stand by, don't forget nature is shaking Stand by, raised by the sand, stand, stand The world is moving towards the end The higher powers won't defend Our lonely planet, a mark in history Good save me, the trees that swung in summer sun The children played their games for fun I thought they'd live to see eternity Cause I can see stars taking cover Stand by, I can see birds start to hover Stand by, don't forget nature's our mother Stand by, raised by the sand, stand, stand I can see water is breaking Stand by, I can see people forsaking Stand by, don't forget nature is shaking Stand by, raised by the sand, stand, stand We can do anything, anytime Let's heal the wounds now Cause I can see stars taking cover Stand by, I can see birds start to hover Stand by, don't forget nature's our mother Stand by, raised by the sand, stand, stand I can see water is breaking Stand by, I can see people forsaking Stand by, don't forget nature is shaking Stand by, raised by the sand, stand, stand
