[Intro] This is our burden The pain we endure [Verse 1] We must carry it together It will soon become a memory (Become a memory) It's staring us in the face, we'll just turn the other way [Verse 2] Take the easy route while millions of people's homes fall to the ground Merciless and unforgiving as it sets us back The truth could bury us all in the end [Verse 3] You and I walk carefully And just hope, hope that our tracks just disappear We don't want to leave an imprint This can't be what we're known for [Chorus] I'll leave the world as it was given to me Flowing full of life, filled with diversity I'll leave the world as it was given to me Flowing full of life, filled with diversity I can look with pride in my child's eyes And he will know I helped preserve what may have died And he will know What I've done (He will know, He will know) [Verse 4] We will look ahead The trail I've left won't lead the history books Right back to me, right back to me This generation won't let it all just slip away, slip away Don't let it slip away [Outro] I'll walk forward and sense the ground beneath me The choice is mine, I need to make the right one The earth may remember what we have done The choice is mine, I need to make the right one
