Gaia / unmistakably one
Does anybody here remember planet earth?
Remember how we said that
we would change the world
some sunny day?
Gaia! Gaia!
What have we done to you?
Does anybody else here
feel the way I do?
-
Gaia?
Are you still with us?
Just breathe if you can hear me,
are you gonna make it through?
Come on, mother
I see your feeling smothered.
We can change our ways,
and defeat this ego craze.
Forgive us,
we know not what we're doing still.
Oblivious to the truth,
we're not the kings of the hill.
There is no denying our impact.
A growing species, still learning to live.
We are only coming through in phases,
our bodies decay but our mind
moves through the mazes.
When we were infants
we had a vision,
our eyes reflected
the power of the sun.
Then we lost sight of this union.
I can't explain but now we see again
this is who we are.
We have become
unmistakably one.
Alright.
Just a simple setback.
There'll be no more "how!!?"
Things may be a little wrecked
Can you still breathe?
I do believe we're still all alive.
She will keep us swimming through the stars,
may even end up on mars.
There is no denying what we've done.
A growing species still learning to live.
We are only coming through in phases,
our bodies decay but our soul
slips through the stages.
When we were just infants
we had a vivid vision,
our minds reflected the cosmic limitlessness.
We stopped to stare but it slipped away.
We could not wrap our minds
around this place,
the infant has grown,
the vision has blurred
though we're still
unmistakably one.
Remember how we said that
we would change the world
some sunny day?
