[verse 1]
if [?] pepper could walk through england’s land
searchin’ for queen and [?] so grand
he might search a while afore he could find
today’s landscape with nature in mind

[refrain]
-humming-

[verse 2]
the plants set ablaze as the servers are favoured
while the animals find it hard to adapt
this landscape doesn’t serve ought but a grave
for a planet on the edge of collapse

[refrain]
-humming-

[verse 3]
the greed, injustice, and fires, and death
pave the path for our children’s fate
think tanks and lobbying keep public opinion
blind to the issues they exacerbate

[refrain]
how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how
[verse 4]
industrial progress has made it rate hot
and coupled with laws affecting the land
dividin’ up land that is destined to perish
should be called the banker’s last stand

[refrain]
-humming-

[verse 5]
they say that when humans face their exctinction
the ants will know not of our decline
or even the fact that we once existed
be humbled, run that twice round your mind

[refrain]
-humming-

[verse 6]
forthright they stand, spouting their numbers
millions, billions means nothin’ to me
i don’t go and buy a million tomatoes
that information’s not useful to me

[refrain]
-humming-
[verse 7]
in the same way that i find my nan’s hair
nestling somewhere deep in my own
when i reach over to pull it out freely
i remember that really i’m never alone

[refrain]
-vocalising-

[verse 8]
as one group under the same sky
there are some babies who cease to cry
a human’s purpose is to care
i only ask that you dare

[refrain]
-vocalising-

[outro]
do you hear me now?
i’m the voice of the ground
i rise from the cracks
where the light breaks through
a flower knows all genders
and the sky has no hue
you’re not so different
you’re part of the view
