We look up at the midnight sky Dreaming of worlds where we can fly Building machines to conquer space While we tear down our own place Greedy hands on a brand new land Smearing dirt on a burning planet We want to rule the stars above When we haven't even learned to love! Should we reach for space or stay right here? Carrying our war, our greed, our fear! If we paint the cosmos in our stain Are we spreading life or expanding pain? Lost in the dark, what do we find? Or are we just running from what's behind? The oceans die, the skies turn gray While we construct our escape today Talking 'bout peace under alien suns While down below we loading our guns Break the earth, choke the air And promise to care... anywhere but here! We dream of life on a frozen moon While our own paradise dies too soon! Should we reach for space or stay right here? Carrying our war, our greed, our fear! If we paint the cosmos in our stain Are we spreading life or expanding pain? Lost in the dark, what do we find? Or are we just running from what's behind? Before we plant a flag in the dirt Look at the people, look at the hurt! Heal the ground! Turn it around! WAKE UP NOW! Should we reach for space or stay right here? Carrying our war, our greed, our fear! If we paint the cosmos in our stain Are we spreading life or expanding pain? Lost in the dark, what do we find? Or are we just running from what's behind? Heal the Earth! Show what we're worth! Before we touch the sky... OPEN YOUR EYES!
