Lyrics

Verse 1

When the rivers stop their running,

And the forests lose their green,

When the morning sun is hidden,

By a sky we've never seen.

If the ground beneath us trembles,

And the oceans rise again,

Don't be afraid, my little one,

I'll be with you till the end.

Pre-Chorus

We were given something beautiful,

More than we could ever know,

But we kept taking everything,

Till there was nowhere left to go.

CHORUS

Before the world is gone,

Before the last light fades,

Before we lose the only home

That we were ever given.

Turn around, wake up,

There's still a chance tonight,

We can save what we have left,

We can bring it back to life.

POST-CHORUS

Oh, don't let it go,

Don't let it go away,

This is the only home we know,

And it's calling us today.

Oh, don't let it go,

There's still time to change,

Before the world is gone,

Before it slips away.

Verse 2

Look beyond the city skyline,

See the clouds above the sea,

There's a world behind the concrete,

There's a life we never see.

Every bird that crosses over,

Every tree beneath the sun,

Is a part of what was given,

A gift meant for everyone.

Pre-Chorus

We were chasing after everything,

Never stopping to look around,

Now the silence keeps reminding us,

Of the things we've torn down.

CHORUS

Before the world is gone,

Before the last light fades,

Before we lose the only home

That we were ever given.

Turn around, wake up,

There's still a chance tonight,

We can save what we have left,

We can bring it back to life.

B-SECTION

Maybe we were never meant

To own this world at all,

Maybe we were only passing through,

And forgot how small we are.

So take my hand and make a change,

Let tomorrow have a name,

If we give the Earth a little love,

Maybe we can heal the pain.

POST-CHORUS

Oh, don't let it go,

Don't let it go away,

This is the only home we know,

And it's calling us today.

Oh, don't let it go,

There's still time to change,

Before the world is gone,

Before it slips away.

FINAL CHORUS
