Lyrics
Struggle with it all you like.
That won't change just how small you are
In this life.
This life.
Millions and millions of stars collide,
And you sit here just wishing your career would take flight.
Take flight.
Men wage war and children fight.
Countries starve and mothers lose their sight.
You breathe air. You say you care.
But the universe
Won't know you’re there.
We’re cosmic dust, that’s what they say.
You can try with all your might
But you can't stay.
Cant stay.
Change the world just for a spell.
Do your part so no one here can tell you, “You’ve failed.”
You’ve failed…
But men wage war and children fight.
Countries starve and mothers lose their sight.
You breathe air. You say you care.
But the universe
Won't know you’re there.
You breathe air. You say you care.
But the universe… won't know you’re there.
