Wake up to the wonders

Sometimes I gaze into the vast abyss..
"See them stars a billion light years away"
It makes me feel blessed to be a guest on this world
Who else really feels this way?
Who else really feels this way?

When civilization is dead..
From the chaos we caused from the start
We'll wish we would've woke up to the wonders...
"We could've been free"
But we chose to obsess over power and
we chose the material world
and oh, not
the mysteries..

Still repeating history
Still repeating history..

Oh mysteries and memories
"How we abandoned thee"
 "We abandoned thee"

Could've been raised in Russia,
Could've been born in Brazil,
It shouldn't matter much wherever your born,
We're all brought through the same way.

We've been shown the "differences" placing the boundaries between us
because of our beliefs
Sometimes behaving bizarrely
to show "we don't support your system"
Sad and strange
Sad and strange..

We cannot continue with careless chaos
Cannot consume till we're catatonic
but we can raise our voices
to wake the others
Wake the others.
