Theysay
they say we'll come to our end one day
they say we just won't matter
they say we'll become our own prey
with thoughts as mad as a hatter
they say we'll run out of water
they say we'll run out of food
they say we'll kill or be slaughtered
they say we'll come to no good
they say civility's near an end
they say there's no use in tryin'
they say our actions only portend
civilization's weakness's underlyin'
they say we don't know what we're doin'
and perhaps it's true, we don't
seems like the whole world we're screwin'
but maybe the prediction's overblown
maybe there's another bend to turn
maybe there is another angle
maybe 'stead of like before, we'll learn
to sort our emotions to better unscramble
maybe love can actually conquer fear
maybe there's a brighter dawn to come
today's weathered is tomorrow's all clear
maybe empathy is our new rule-of-thumb
