[Verse 1] Can you believe it We woke up in a garden Fruit hanging heavy River right there at our feet Fire in the daylight Healing in the branches Everything breathing Easy as falling asleep [Chorus] We had a world that was already singing Mountains humming under open sky Turned it into contracts Flags and warnings Taught our children how to justify Oh Overwhelmingly human To take a gift and turn it into war Can you believe Can you believe How we kept on asking for more [Verse 2] We drew crooked borders Through valleys and villages Argued over names For the same blue air we breathe Built little paper towers Called them power Called them progress Forgot the taste of water When it’s taken as it’s freed [Chorus] We had a world that was already singing Mountains humming under open sky Turned it into contracts Flags and warnings Taught our children how to justify Oh Overwhelmingly human To take a gift and turn it into war Can you believe Can you believe How we kept on asking for more [Bridge] Maybe the miracle Was never in the miracle cure Maybe it’s sitting here Sharing what we’re given Unsure (oh) If we can unlearn All the stories that we swore [Chorus] We had a world that was already singing Mountains humming under open sky Turn it back from contracts Flags and warnings Teach our children how to question why Oh Overwhelmingly human But we can choose another word than "war" Can you believe Can you believe We could still become something more
