Long ago I hated cities  Didn't want to live in one  All dreams they headed North  Where Colorado waters run  I was young thought all I needed  Were virgin mountains wild ground  And while I still believe in those things  I also need my friends around  We've begun to notice lately  What we've done to this old Earth  She making storms, I think she's saying  Can't you see I'm really hurt  I don't know just how to change it  Holy Father, hear my prayer  We see our Mother worn and weak  And we're all left abandoned here  Chorus:  We need to rediscover passion  So we can feel this world again  Oh deep denial you're the dragon  And we're the fragile living things  We're the fragile living things  I no longer see the city  As just a place to get out of  With all the lost and lonely people  We're here to show each other love  We can't do it scared and scattered  Hidden on some mountain top  Thought we've all been torn and tattered  I hope we're far from giving up  And what we're seeing sometimes hurts us  All the anger, fear and pain  They're only rising to the surface  To be replaced with love again  With love again  All the world is now a city  Though overgrown, it's our hometown  Tender planet bearing many  Let's throw our useless weapons down  We can watch animals living  No longer need to shed their blood  Frutile grains and fruits we're given  Release the beasts they gave enough  And we'll recall what we've forgotten  From long ago the world is good  And now at last the trance is broken  And we'll explore our humanhood  We'll become our humanhood
