ohhhhh ooh ohhhhhh oh ohhhhhh! Verse 1 The ground still turns beneath our feet It does not ask for anything It holds the roots It holds the bones It holds every step we ever took We take and we take and we do not give back We carve and we burn and we walk away Leaving scars that do not heal Verse 2 The air grows thinner where the trees once stood Silence falls where the birds used to wake the morning Rivers run dark carrying things they cannot digest Fish float belly up Flowers turn to dust The sky changes colour slow Almost too slow to see Until it is too late to pretend we did not know Chorus This is the only home we ever had It does not belong to us We are only passing through Guests who forgot how to be gentle We hurt the one thing that keeps us alive We poison the water that feeds us We break the hands that hold us up And we wonder why the world feels tired Bridge The Earth does not need us to survive It was here long before we came It will be here long after we are gone It can heal if we let it If we stop tearing at the wounds If we stop taking more than we give If we remember how to breathe with it instead of against it But time runs thin The light shifts The choice slips through our fingers like sand Verse 3 Somewhere a forest still stands Somewhere water runs clear Somewhere a child looks up and sees stars unhidden We can still turn We can still mend Not all at once One piece at a time One breath One tree One quiet promise to do better Outro Listen close The Earth is singing still Softer now Fading Hear it Before it falls silent Forever
