No amount of closing our eyes will make it disappear
And the world can't take it very much longer
Were not gonna make it unless we're smarter and stronger
The world's gonna shake itself free of our greed somehow
And the world can't take it that you can see
If the oceans don't make it neither will we
The world's gonna shake itself all the way free
If I could be anywhere
If I could be anywhere in time
If I could be anywhere and change the outcome
It would have to be now
The beauty of this song is that is not one of cynicism or resignation; it's a call to action. Artists like Jackson keep us in touch with our nature and our planet. It is up to us to heed the call and conduct our own personal war on convenience.
