TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH
WRITTEN BY JIM MOGINIE

People of the world rise up
We have been unconscious for too long
Every creature drinks from the same cup
Makes you want to dance and praise with song
Joy is coming, so confess
You are filled with joy and thankfulness

We
We wake in a dream
Staring at screens
Choose apathy

Yeah to the ends of the Earth, find out what it is worth to the ends of the Earth
Yeah to the ends of the Earth, find out just what it’s worth to the ends of the Earth

Canaries in a fossil fuel gumbo
450 parts per million Co2
Industry can't give you a clean bill of health
Politics has sold its soul by stealth

We
We criss cross the land
Hide behind walls
Feign empathy

But we we seek a new creed
Someone to believe
Something to see

Yeah to the ends of the Earth, find out what it is worth to the ends of the Earth
Yeah to the ends of the Earth, find out just what it’s worth to the ends of the Earth
Yeah to the ends of the Earth, you can do the research to the ends of the Earth

Because every creature drinks from the same cup
