I’m under stress
under duress
I don’t think I can take much more

and it’s not just Me
but also those around Me
the ones that don’t hurt Me but end up getting hurt

I don’t know what to do
I’m crying
screaming
somebody help Me

but the only ones who can fight

they fight each other
over resources that come from Me
from those that don’t hurt Me

I don’t know what to do
I have so little time left
before things become more permanent

and I can’t do much
except for watching
and waiting
until they kill everything

and I am left alone

I see You there
It’s been a year
You haven’t changed a bit
Still as gorgeous as ever

But I worry
What if that’s not You
What if my eyes are lying to me
What if I go up right now and I’m rejected
Because it’s not You

But I know it’s You
It has to be You
There is no one else in the world for me but You

So I make my way
On unsteady legs
Remembering that I need to go first
To dance first
To sing first

Because that’s the only way You’ll know it’s me
We all look alike
But You’ll know its Me
And I’ll know its You

I've been here before
Broken down
Built up
Within my layers lies the history of the world
But people seem to forget
I watched as history has moved
And not much has changed
It repeats itself
And I am the only thing that will remain
That will make sure you remain
As fossils
Or fuels
Or in museums
I persevere the life you live
Without me there is nothing for you to stand on
