“Life Finds a Way”

The cold concrete is drying while the whole world is dying

The bulldozers are humming while the animals are running

The forests are burning while new bacteria are forming

The ice caps are melting while steel is smelting

The world is not dying, but our watches are lying

We’re only killing our time here and that fills us with great fear

While the human race is hating Mother Nature is waiting

Her child is being abused and she is not amused

Through every crack and imperfection, she stands with insurrection

She waits for her day through every weekend and rainy day

We yearn for vacation and she laughs with exhilaration

As civilization decays she only says hooray

And when our time is up she will stand up

She’ll embrace her child at last while we breathe our last gasp

And when we return to dust the wind will just gust
