lyrics

Contemplation

Standing at the beach alone
Beneath the waves that wash ashore
Shouldn’t I feel happy?
Time stands still, joy is no more.
Watching the sun settle in the west
Seagulls are floating in the sky.
Around me the world is burning
And close to me loved ones die.

This is the time for contemplation
The time to make a choice
Is humanity useless driftwood?
Washed ashore without a voice.
This is the time for contemplation.
Are we here to drain the earth.
Or should we all start asking questions.
Is this truly all that life is worth?

The city’s rushing, raging, roaring.
Now streets are empty, without light.
Once full of life and selfish pushing
All that’s left is grief and fright.
Endless shoving, yelling, fighting
The only wish is to succeed.
And now the longing for compassion
Is all we really need.

This is the time for contemplation
The time to make a choice
Is humanity useless driftwood?
Washed ashore without a voice.
This is the time for contemplation.
Are we here to drain the earth.
Or should we all start asking questions.
Is this truly all that life is worth?

Politicians tell us stories,
Hiding the truth behind their backs.
We feel betrayed, lost, filled with fury.
It ‘s the courage here that lacks.
Instead of looking in the mirror
Finding righteousness right there.
We keep asking the wrong questions.
It is very hard to bear.

It’s the time for contemplation
The time to hear our voice.
Is humanity useless driftwood?
Washed ashore without a choice?
It’s the time for contemplation.
Are we here to drain the earth.
Or should we all start asking questions.
Is this truly all that life is worth?
Is this truly all that life is worth?
Was this truly all that life was worth?
