Tears in Your Rain

busy streets, sea of light
A thousand diamonds glitter in the night
Embrace the steel, light the sky
Driving progress as far as meets the eye

Choke on smoke as the glaciers bleed
Thirst expanding well beyond our need
Hear your voice, turn from your pain
Feel the burn of the tears in your rain

Will you turn the lights out
Behind us when we go
Not sure when we changed sides
Why we fail to realize
The time will come to reap what we’ve sown

Levees break beneath the weight
Yet still we stand and hesitate
Shake your head in disbelief
At the foolishness behind such conceit

With false pride we roar our might
Doing unto the land as is our right
Fuel the winds as the oceans rage
Leaving footprints broad scars upon your face

Blessed mother full of grace
Forgive us our waste
We know not what we do

Will you turn the lights out
Behind us when we go
Not sure when we changed sides
Why we fail to realize
The time will come to reap what we’ve sown

Will you turn the lights out
Behind us when we go
I wonder what we’ll say
When it comes to judgement
The time will come to reap what we’ve sown
