There's a place for you here
In a heart so warm
Resilient enough
To overcome the storm
And the wind is knocking
On my door every day
But when I meet you
There's nothing to say
Coz you're clever, you're brash
You're the epitome of suave
There's no mountain to climb
When you assuage
My fears with the danger
Of what you'll do today
I know there's nothing in the world
That I can say
That will stop you from heaving
The weight of the sea
But there was a moment
You were just there with me
In the ashes, in the fire
In the brave, in the free
You can call it forever
Or just destiny
But you match my endeavour
Like a hidden ring
And I know if you asked
I'd give up everything
To be the summer
In your glass of wine
Would it be okay
If I called you mine?
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?
