Carbon Copy

[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
