Watching the Wind Go By

A thousand shards of universe are flooding in my ears
So many skies are falling I don't know where to send my tears
And more shards keep on coming, the world is crumbling through the years
And we are falling too, falling through

And I'm just standing here, talking to the sky
Catching the raindrops, and watching the wind go by

And as the water's rising and your future life is sinking
How long can you intend to tell the people it's still dry
The flood has swept away all your ignoring and pretending
Your children, they are drowning, and your feet are wet with lies

And I'm just standing here, talking to the sky
Catching the raindrops, and watching the wind go by

And as the fire's spreading and your dreams and hopes are smouldering
Do you intend to say it's sunshine and turn your back upon the flames?
You've burned up your redemption all this time that you've been hiding
By ignoring consequences and distracting us with games

And I'm just standing here, talking to the sky
Catching the raindrops, and watching the wind go by

The winds are blowing harder, and we've seen which way they go
The storm may well mean death for us, our greed will be our story
But we can weather all of this if we rewrite the things we know
Remembering care and balance, rejecting wealth and glory

And I'm just standing here, talking to the sky
Catching the raindrops, and watching the wind go by

And I'm just standing here, talking to the sky
Catching the raindrops, and watching the wind go by
Watching the wind go by
