Verse 1
I’ve got a lot to get up off my chest
as I’m living in the present, tryna see what’s coming next
From above, I can see the whole world from here
But even though the view is beautiful, I’m overcome by fear
Are we doomed? Will we make it?
While we desecrate everything that is sacred
I try make sense of all the effort that is wasted
by the antics of our people and perpetuated hatred
The future is pixelated, but I think that maybe we don’t understand
The biggest danger to us all, is the arrogance of man
Going to war over politics and religion
While we’re supposedly aiming towards a similar vision
As I, sit upon this rock, looking, back at the Earth
I wonder, what it will take for you to, see what it is worth
before it all gets worse, will we realise in time?
See the error in our ways, before we hit the bottom line?
I am asking
Chorus
Are you out there
and do you care at all?
this pale blue dot
is the only home we know
We search around
but never seem to find
escape, only to see
There’s nowhere to run
There’s nowhere to run
Verse 2
Look what we’re becoming
Members of an audience, sitting passively watching
Every little ill in the way the world is running
Do you even care at all? Do you really feel nothing?
I just wish that you could see it from this perspective
Looking at the human race as a giant collective
We are destined for greatness, but we lack the direction
and respect for one another, I just cannot accept it.
I just want to know
What will it take for us to see we are the same?
What will it take for us to see we need a change?
What will it take to put an end to all the pain
while we go exploit the planet for economical gain
When will we have that realisation, that the only way we’ll make it
is to unify as one, to put aside our pride and hatred
I don’t have an answer, I’m hoping for your attention
So that I can pull you up here and have you ask the same question
