If we take it all and we leave nothing
Then nothing's going to be what is waiting for us
If we wait too long hoping for a sign
We may soon find that there is no more time
We turn a blind eye to what is going on
We look away while it all goes wrong
We need our eyes open
To fix what we have broken
If all we do is hide our head in the sand
We shouldn't be surprised if we are left in the dessert
If our way of life is all we can conserve
Then maybe the dessert is all we deserve
We turn a blind eye to what is going on
We look away while it all goes wrong
We need our eyes open
To fix what we have broken
Running in the dark with our eyes closed
It can't end well some lord only knows
And if that is true we won't be told
It's time to let us stand on our own
If all we do is hide our head in the sand
We shouldn't be surprised if we are left in the dessert
If our way of life is all we can conserve
Then maybe the dessert is all we deserve
We turn a blind eye to what is going on
We look away while it all goes wrong
We need our eyes open
To fix what we have broken
