»We are a rock revolving
Around a gol­den sun
We are a bil­li­on children
Rolled into one
So when I hear about
The hole in the sky
Saltwater wells in my eyes

We climb the hig­hest mountain
We'll make the desert bloom
We're so ingenious
We can walk on the moon
But when I hear of how
The forests have died
Saltwater wells in my eyes

have lived for love
But now that's not enough
For the world I love is dying
(And now I'm crying)
And time is not a friend
(No fri­end of mine)
As fri­ends we're out of time
And it's slow­ly pas­sing by
Right befo­re our eyes

We light the deepest ocean
Send pho­to­graphs of Mars
We're so enchan­ted by
How cle­ver we are
Why should one baby
Feel so hun­gry she cries
Saltwater wells in my eyes

I have lived for love
But now that's not enough
For the world I love is dying
(And now I'm crying)
And time is not a friend
(No fri­end of mine)
As fri­ends we're out of time
And it's slow­ly pas­sing by
Right befo­re our eyes

We are a rock revolving
Around a gol­den sun
We are a bil­li­on children
Rolled into one
What will I think of me
The day that I die
Saltwater wells in my eyes
Saltwater wells in my eyes«
