Living Things — текст песни (Tomlinson Michael)

Long ago I hated cities
Didn`t want to live in one
All dreams they headed North
Where Colorado waters run
I was young thought all I needed
Were virgin mountains wild ground
And while I still believe in those things
I also need my friends around
We`ve begun to notice lately
What we`ve done to this old Earth
She making storms, I think she`s saying
Can`t you see I`m really hurt
I don`t know just how to change it
Holy Father, hear my prayer
We see our Mother worn and weak
And we`re all left abandoned here
Chorus:
We need to rediscover passion
So we can feel this world again
Oh deep denial you`re the dragon
And we`re the fragile living things
We`re the fragile living things
I no longer see the city
As just a place to get out of
With all the lost and lonely people
We`re here to show each other love
We can`t do it scared and scattered
Hidden on some mountain top
Thought we`ve all been torn and tattered
I hope we`re far from giving up
And what we`re seeing sometimes hurts us
All the anger, fear and pain
They`re only rising to the surface
To be replaced with love again
With love again
All the world is now a city
Though overgrown, it`s our hometown
Tender planet bearing many
Let`s throw our useless weapons down
We can watch animals living
No longer need to shed their blood
Frutile grains and fruits we`re given
Release the beasts they gave enough
And we`ll recall what we`ve forgotten
From long ago the world is good
And now at last the trance is broken
And we`ll explore our humanhood
We`ll become our humanhood
