lyrics

The world is running out of time,
As a river runs downhill,
The world is running out of time,
We need a better paradigm.
The drive to change it calls us still
For if we do not, who will?

The bigotry we thought was done,
As a river runs downhill,
The bigotry we thought was done,
Is marching bare-faced in the sun.
The drive to change it calls us still
For if we do not, who will?

As drone and missile fill the sky,
As a river runs downhill,
As drone and missile fill the sky,
In dust and wreckage children die.
The drive to change it calls us still
For if we do not, who will?

As we wait the planet warms,
As a river runs downhill,
As we wait the planet warms,
Fueling fires, droughts and storms.
The drive to change it calls us still
For if we do not, who will?

We can fight and heal and tend
As a river runs downhill
We can fight and heal and tend
Which means these wrongs are ours to mend
The drive to change it calls us still
For if we do not, who will?
