lyrics
The lyrics were written by Chris Davis and are as follows:
Seven billion can’t be wrong,
If we demand our very best to fight the outcome,
Now tell me how can we commit future generations to this?
Earth's surface temperature climbing,
The sea level's rising,
Ice caps melting,
Storms occur more frequent and intense,
Deserts broaden by the greenhouse effect
The world is derived from it's resources,
The richer the diversity of life,
The greater the opportunity-
Controlled chaos surrounding me,
Never knowing what tomorrow will bring,
Oh, clustered in, this nebula-
Seven billion could be wrong,
The population's growth is a serious problem,
Now tell me how can we prevent,
The environment from all of this?
Birds keep falling out of the sky,
Honey bees disappearing, oil spills aren’t helping,
What would happen if the dams just gave out?
And the same for the bridges from us driving about?
Our world can be derived from it’s machines,
The richer the economy,
The greater chance of catastrophe-
Controlled chaos surrounding me,
Never knowing what tomorrow will bring,
Oh, clustered in, this nebula-
(Reprise)
*Inspired by the “Pillars Of Creation” photo taken by NASA from the Eagle Nebula. The word Nebula is from the Latin word for cloud, which is Nimbus. They were originally referred to as galaxies, however, now they describe gas and dust clouds in space.
"It is my belief that the world believes in love. Similar to these dust clouds many light years away, we too attempt to reflect “light” from those around us. We also have a destructive side, the inhabitants of earth contribute to many emissions that could potentially take responsibility for the destruction of our own kind and the planet we inhabit." - Topher
