To Keep the World We Know

[Verse 1]
Haze hangs over hills
Bright in the morning breeze
It's warm in the endless sunshine
Not so good to breathe

[Verse 2]
Smoke of a thousand fires
Filling up the sky
All around the great wide world—
Forecast: warm and dry

[Verse 3]
Hills of California
Romania and France
Algeria, Australia
Siberia's expanse

[Verse 4]
The countryside of Greece and Spain
The Amazon the same—
From the tundra to the tropics
Our world's gone up in flames

[Chorus]
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey

[Verse 5]
Even up north in Iqaluit
Where therе's not a tree for miles
Fire shoots out the kitchеn taps
Apocalyptic style

[Verse 6]
Waters rise, grassland dries
Mother Earth, she weeps
Willful ignorance and greed
Prevail while reason sleeps

[Verse 7]
There are people who live to believe
In the good we all can make
There are people who live to believe
In how much they can take

[Verse 8]
Ashes and mudslides all around—
Is this any way to go?
Got to think past your bank account
To keep the world we know

[Chorus]
Hey hey hey (Takvatuak silarjuak)
Hey hey hey (Tamnatuummat silarjuak)
Hey hey hey (Unatuummat silarjuak)
Hey hey hey (Taamnatuummat silarjuak)

[Outro]
There's a drive to live at the heart of things
Gotta sink a pipe into that spring
And let it water everything
To keep the world we know
There's a drive to live at the heart of things
Gotta sink a pipe into that spring
Let it water everything
To keep the world we know
To keep the world we know
To keep the world we know
