We must carry it together It will soon become a memory
It´s staring us in the face But we just turn the other way Take the easy route While millions of people´s homes fall to the ground Merciless and unforgiving as it sets us back The truth could bury us all in the end
You and I walk carefully as we lighten our step And hope our tracks just disappear We don´t want to leave an imprint This can´t be what we´re known for
I´ll leave the world as it was given to me Flowing full of life and filled with diversity I´ll leave the world as it was given to me Flowing full of life and filled with diversity
I can look with pride in my child´s eyes And he will know I helped preserve what may have died He will know what I´ve done
We will look ahead The trail I´ve left won´t lead the history books Right back to me Right back to me This generation won´t let it all just slip away Slip away, slip away Don´t let it slip away
I´ll walk forward and sense the ground beneath me The choice is mine I need to make the right one The earth may remember what we have done The choice is mine
