We were given knowledge to light our way
But we fed that flame ‘til nothing could
grow back
We are given knowledge to light our way
But we feed this flame ‘til nothing can
grow back
For when fire has destroyed everything
you own in this world
What will you do with your no-coiner and
tell your children when all the trees are
dust?
I could have done better
I could have gone further
I could have been more “Promethean”
I could have looked higher
I could have looked elsewhere for what I
could find around me
I could have felt way more guilty
But I’m not here to beg for forgiveness
I’m so sorry… I preferred to live
I need assistance to find resilience
And lead us somewhere... where none has
to beg for forgiveness
For the world we live in does not belong to us!
We’ve all been fooled into hoping that
the world
We’ve created could never become
uninhabitable
But we only have to look around us to realize
That the only thing we can do is come together
I could have done better
I could have gone further
I could have been more Promethean
I could have looked higher
I could have looked elsewhere for what I
could find around me
But I'm not here to beg for forgiveness
Why build a shelter in a world which is
not ours?
The only pain that haunts me to the core
Is dragging all us animals through the war
They asked for none of this; they had no say
And yet we burn us all on our last day
I could have done better
I could have gone further
I could have felt more guilty
But I… I won’t beg for forgiveness
