When I'm staring
At the first rays
Of the rising sun
I am trying
To find within myself
The courage to go on
I have not yet understood
Why I can't find my place
Why the world
Is going so insane
And the meaning
Of this pain
I wish I could
Change something
Before there is no hope
That I could change
The way you look at this
Before our kids are grown
What should be said
To our children
If the weather
Keeps warming up?
And if, despite
Our true love for them
We leave
A devastated land
What should be said
To our children
If the seas
Are flooded with plastic gum?
If, to escape
The wrath of the waves
They can do nothing
But run
Go ahead
Straight ahead
I know you won't fail
Go ahead
Straight ahead
My son
I'm sorry for this land
Go ahead
Straight ahead
Every time
I'm holding your hand
I can feel your strength
And then I know
Love will guide you
Through this fallen land
Go straight ahead
Go straight ahead
Go straight ahead
Straight ahead
