lyrics
I swing my arms out like a battle ax just trying to keep you warm.
We cut the forests and the old growth now the forests are all gone.
I send my love out like a lightning bolt.
Just like a matador chasing a bull in a ceramic store.
And there’s plastic in the ocean some say fifty fathoms wide.
That plastic in the ocean is going to choke us til we die.
There’s poison in the water and poison in the air.
In every mother’s breast milk.
In every infant’s hair.
Take aim.
I want to see a polar bear just running on some ice.
But just like all the glaciers they’re going, going, gone.
This ain’t no way to live and it ain’t no way to die.
There’s gotta be something more that we can do than cry.
So we sit and write some letters to congress and senators.
To tell them where we stand.
It does not work, we are not heard.
So we go into the streets like so many have before.
We yell and march and dance but the machine it keeps on.
Take aim.
I lay my head to dream hoping for some hope to hold.
I dream a polar bear she bites the head from a CEO.
And I dream 10,000 whales.
And I dream 1,000,000 squirrels.
And I dream 1,000 moose tell me to wake up and get to work.
Maybe someday I will meet you in a forest on this earth.
We’ll hold hands and embrace among the creatures who’ve returned.
Baby, then I’ll kiss you for all that you have done.
To tear apart this machine and make a living world.
