LYRICS:

Take a look around you, doesn't it confound you
How this world is falling apart
And we all know, that it's almost too late
Isn't it amazing, the world that we are changing
In the worst possible way
And we won't last long
If few people care at all

Some people are trying to stop this world from dying
They know that we won't last for long
And they've realized, they've opened up their eyes
To what is going on.

I have a proposition, more or less a mission
To anyone who can hear me
Just do some simple things
A few things to save this world

CHORUS
Isn't it so obvious that we are
Sinking slowly,
There's a hole in the hull, and we're all going down with the ship

Looking out my window
Listening to the wind blow
Watching waves crash on the sea
So beautiful -- Isn't it worth working to save?

Standing in my front yard
Staring at the stars
Wondrin' how many more there would be
Way up there
If it weren't for you and me.

CHORUS

And we are tearing this world, tearing this world apart
And ev'ryone needs to realize, needs to open their eyes
And you, sit and watch, the world slowly, the world slowly die
But there is still one last glimmer, one last glimmer of hope.

CHORUS

We are sinkin' slowly, sinkin' slowly
We are falling backwards, falling backwards,
We are sinkin' slowly, sinkin' slowly
And we're all going down with the ship.

Thanks, Rob!

This is fantastic. Much better than a lot of the "hits" you hear on the radio. You guys seriously should make a CD.

[ResistingGravity]

That's such a great compliment, Nalkei - thanks so much! Hopefully we'll be able to make a CD before too long. :)
