Lyrics

You can't do all things Don't dream big Til you handle small things A wise tree Understands it's falling Plant seeds in the rubble For belief For relief in the struggle Peace is knowing You're a piece of the puzzle Not the whole thing You don't control things Don't point fingers If the fingers got gold rings It's out of your hands Focus on what you're holding Those that do keep the world sane Putting hope to work They spur change Staying close to the earth They turn pain Into purpose Searching for light They burn flames Now you can build or destroy Spread healing or poison To fill in thе void Human nature Is to fill it with noise So we just do thе labour And then chill and enjoy Islands Land and water Raise it up Uplift this body Sand and soil Gold and oil Nothing can stop us Land and water Raise it up Uplift this body Sand and soil Gold and oil Nothing can stop us What's left If just a few can afford a roof? Just a landlord or two With their mortgage due If the schools are too poor to Support the youth No art, no sports do Just portables If journalists aren't brave So they distort the truth When they report the news If entertainers Perform with tuned vocals over Vocals and recorded loops If we all got Disordered moods No Black, White, Brown now Everybody sort of blue If few vote And politicians Are ignoring you? If I'm buying this imported fruit That gets processed and sold back To those that export the food For more If it seems the only moral rule Is I get mine and you Get some more for you Maybe we need something new Things only seen in dreams To look forward to (We're building that) Islands Land and water Raise it up Uplift this body Sand and soil Gold and oil Nothing can stop us Land and water Raise it up Uplift this body Sand and soil Gold and oil Nothing can stop us
