about

A song for our planet

lyrics

Sisyphus, Sisyphus
I’ll help you if I can
Put my shoulder to the boulder
But it will roll down again
And this is a great blue boulder
With millions of souls upon her
But if this is the way we roll her
Then it will all soon be over

Burn
We’re burning up
Drought
We’re drying out
Down
We’re going down
Into the toxic ground

Sisyphus, Sisyphus
Our fears outweigh our hopes
We’re waiting for our lives to stop
For the other shoe to drop
For the famine to begin
For the burning of our skin

Do you remember life
Under a merciful sun?
Now the ozone layer is gone
And we realise what we have done
We should have tried harder
To push up the boulder
We should have know better
And heeded the weather
And stopped wearing leather
And pushed all together

But we burn
We’re burning up
Drought
We’re drying out
Down
We’re going down
Into the toxic ground

It just takes a single boulder
To start an avalanche
We ignored our single boulder
And we missed our chance

Sisyphus, Sisyphus
I’ll help you if I can
Put my shoulder to the boulder
But it will roll down again
And this is a great blue boulder
With millions of souls upon her
This is a great blue boulder
Turning over and over
Round
We’re going round
Doubt
We’re dying out
Down
We’re going down
Into the toxic ground
That was once our own homeland
