The World As We Know It

The world as we know it
Is in rapid decline
I'd love to say something
Like it's all just fine
And it would be true
To a degree
But there's something that's calling
Of the ocean to me
And we're building cities 
Up from the ground
But there are people crying 
Because of the sound
Of war drums that beat
To the rhythm of people's feet
As they march across the sand 
While economists talk of 
The invisible hand 
But we gotta make a move
To make a change
As the atoms stratify 
And rearrange
Into a new form
And is the sun warm
What a question to ask!
Are we able
Or up to the task? 
And we've got this spirit
Running our veins
And I can't tolerate
All the pain 
That the interpretation creates 
I see us all in better states
Where we make a duty more than law
But the reason why the ice thaw
As my compassion heats the storm
Is there a world that could be too warm?
