One thousand miles away

I hear the children play

They sing their songs of hope

Of hate and love and misery

One thousand years away

I see their shadows fade

Still singing songs of hope

Of hate and love and misery

A little glimpse of hope

Between all the hate and fear

It is all that we've got

When the end is near

The water is rising

But all we do is keep pouring in

Empty is the soul

Light is the mind

But heavy is the head that wears the crown

And numbered are his days

When the rivers all dried up

And all the trees cut down

Man will realise he's not

Able to eat money

There's no one left to save

It's too late

One thousand miles away

I hear the children play

They sing their songs of hope

Of hate and love and misery

One thousand years away

I see their shadows fade

Still singing songs of hope

Of hate and love and misery

The water is rising

But all we do is keep pouring in

The higher we will rise

The deeper we shall fall

A kingdom on the edge of its demise

It's time to turn the tide

When the rivers all dried up

And all the trees cut down

Man will realise he's not

Able to eat money

There's no one left to save

It's too late

It's too late

When the rivers all dried up

And all the trees cut down

When the oceans eat the land

We'll understand

It's too late

There's no one left to save

It's too late

One thousand miles away

I hear the children play

They sing their songs of hope

Of hate and love and misery

One thousand years away

I see their shadows fade

Still singing songs of hope

Of hate and love and misery
