This is give and take We've all wasted away in vain Lost in a life of false endeavor Lost in a life of self-seeking gain We bind shoulder to shoulder Let this dry spell end We're weary from thin air that fills our lungs If iron sharpens iron, we're longing to be used To fix our gaze collective Colorless I grow I can't flourish on my own And now with helpless hands may we come alive? Our numbers down, thinned out, Expire or thrive Beg the favor of our earth below and sky above We bind shoulder to shoulder Let this dry spell end We're weary from thin air that fills our lungs If iron sharpens iron, we're longing to be used Send the rain, or we'll cut out the roots Colorless I grow I can't flourish on my own And now with helpless hands may we come alive? Our numbers down, thinned out, Expire or thrive From the dust we've come, to the dust we'll go Mother earth, father sky, let us reap what we've sown Colorless I grow This is give and take We've all wasted away in vain Send the rain Saturate This is give and take, and now we see clearly Everything breathes From the dust we've come, and now we see clearly Everything breathes Colorless I grow I can't flourish on my own And now with helpless hands may we come alive? Expire or thrive
