about

Featuring the vocals of the late Al Bielek, look him up and prepare to have your mind blown.

lyrics

We did so well on the savannah,
that we got time to think about the stars,
and we can up and leave this planet,
and look back down on what is ours,
and as we race on some are left behind,
some burn out as others start to shine,
and you may never think about it,
you might not ever have the time.

We are the guardians of the only place ever called home,
spinning in an endless, empty unknown alone.

So ask the time traveller to tell you how the story ends,
my dear.
Ask him from me if there's time enough for us to make amends,
this year.
Because I do fear, the tipping points near, and they've no idea.

Some are fed but most are hungry,
most scavenge whilst some are out to dine,
the few get fatter from the many,
but how often is it ever called to mind,
as men with title and position,
build towers higher than any man climb,
from steel and glass they never pay for,
looking down on you from ninety stories high.

So who are these guardians of the only place ever called home?
Seven billion people here and people still dying alone.
