Closer to an Animal |
| I am a man |
| You fell down from that apple tree |
| The other day with me |
| We had already forgotten |
| We one day crawled up from the sea |
| Imagine now |
| If we one day could build a flying contraption |
| And see the world |
| What if we could somehow |
| Store knowledge in a cloud |
| Draw a smiley face on the moon |
| Find the meaning of life |
| Riding the crest of our time |
| With bravado, soon complete |
| Will we see a new one rise behind us |
| A new chance, a new world |
| Our wave |
| It’s about to break |
| And we’re about to dive |
| In the void, it echoes our fall |
| Our paean to avarice |
| I think we’re closer to an animal |
| Every day, till we fall… |
| Can you believe |
| We have all those eyes high in the sky |
| And we can now see the world |
| One thing truly makes me blind, the wisdom of hindsight |
| The eye in my own hand |
| Riding the crest of our time |
| With bravado, soon complete |
| Will we see a new one rise behind us |
| A new chance, a new world |
| I think I’m closer to an animal |
| Every day, till I fall |
| If you want it all, you can have it all |
| But greed raises oceans too |
| When the glacier of our broken dreams |
| Melts in your champagne glass |
| Someone knocks on your door |
| Four times… |
| Sand in your hour glass |
| Every grain is a day |
| Falling, finding it’s rightful place |
| If you want it all, you can have it all |
| But greed raises oceans too |
| When the glacier of your broken dream |
| Melts in your champagne glass |
| Do we need it all, we can have it all |
| Our greed will raise oceans soon |
| And the glacier of our human dream |
| Gone with the champagne glass in the sea |
| Back in the sea… |
| Back in the sea… |
| I am a man |
| In the grand scheme of things |
| Only minutes have passed |
| Since I crawled up from the sea |
| But already, I’ve built a flying contraption |
| And seen the world |
| I’ve drawn a smiley face on the moon |
| And stored knowledge in a cloud… |
| What a wonderful gift our mind is |
| But why am I using it to destroy this beautiful planet… |
| My only home |
| If it defines me |
| If it makes me a human |
| I need to get |
| Closer to my inner animal |
