they told us we were here for a reason
they showed us that they needed us to save them
if it's not too much trouble
could you find the notes to play us off?
when you get a chance would you
put away your toys and pick up where we left off?

we can do it if we try
if we don't we still dissolve back into the earth
we're so sure we can somehow
because we remember hearing our mothers cry

come closer to me, child
there's a good chance you may have heard this one before
i confess we were reckless
that's why it pains me to watch you run into the wild

they made it clear that we're under the gun
they showed us that some day we'd be just like them
