When will we take the rocks From caves We’ve been hiding in And fix our spending (change)
And where do we take the water From rivers We’ve been floating on And fix our dying (thirst)
And why do we wait to take the trees From forests We’ve been living in And fix our writing (pencils)
And how can we take the sand grains From beaches We’ve been sleeping on And fix our broken (windowpane)
The rocks, water, trees, and grains From which we came Cannot fix our spending, our dying, our writing, our broken We fix what we broke And leave our homes among The rocks, water, trees, and grains At peace
