Another Way

When all the boys and all the girls
March to call for a better world,
Kneel to plant a million seeds,
But how do you uproot the greed?

While they say progress isn't slow
You still can't bid the wind to blow,
Dismiss the tide to turn away,
We still live to die another day.

Nickels and dimes can't cure a sin,
Won't get us out what pulled us in.
No thanks big roads let's take the trail
You can go breathe easy there.

Throw aside what you've picked up
Unload and walk with your head up
There are other things worth waiting for
It is right outside the door
Fly with the wind, embrace the shore
This is what we were made for

Though the sun's still shining bright
And on our side the lawn's alright
There's still drought on someone's side
Fueling this big carbon ride.

Animals shouldn't have to go away
Because humans kind of chose to stay
There still is a better way
All live and thrive the other way

Nickels and dimes can't cure a sin,
Won't get us out what pulled us in.
No thanks big roads we'll take the trail
We can go breathe easy there.

Throw aside what you've picked up
Unload and walk with your head up
There are other things worth waiting for
It is right outside the door
Fly with the wind, embrace the shore
