mr. sun

i woke up this morning

and i asked the sun

i said you have watched this human race

and how far we've come

you shined on our fields

when we first learned to plant

beat down on our shields

as we battled for land

beat down on our backs

as we built cities to the sky

now can you tell me mr. sun

do you think we'll survive?

his voice was thunderous

as he replied

the heavens broke the soil shook

and fire filled the sky

he said that we're losing a battle within

spent all that money on that oil and war

and there's not much left to pay off your sins

so lay down your axes

and sheathe your bloody swords

for i can tell you my son

it's gonna take a lot more love to survive this world

later that evening

i preyed to the earth

i said oh mamma are you sick

and can you tell me where it hurts

she said that she's choking

she can hardly breathe

she says she suffers more than she lets on

just so we have a place for our feet

you ignorant bastards

what to do with nothing left?

for i can tell you my son

it's gonna take a lot more love to survive this world
