Your eyes are open, you pick up the pace
You take what you can to run the human race
Whatever it takes to get you through the day
But the waters are rising so fast
As you sit in safety at the top of the mast
Perched in a crowsnest as the river runs past
It's in our nature, our particular curse
Things are in bad shape and getting worse
Until you need no encouragement
No further encouragement
You only believe what you can see with your eyes
But your children's children watch the phoenix rise
They need no encouragement
No further encouragement
They'll weather the changes, they'll suffer and learn
While it'll be your fate to see it burn
Your sense of entitlement
Your sense of entitlement
We dream in colour
We dream as one
