about

Some people say it is too late to fix things. Maybe they are right. But that is not the point, as this song says, with its rock-based never-give-up commitment

lyrics

I don’t want to live and I don’t want to die
Watching the sun as it heats up the sky
Scorching the earth where nothing can grow
Melting ice, see the water flow

Its harder to see the things that you love
If you fear what comes from above
In the quiet places I live
In the silence I try to forgive

Chorus
So I’ll fight I’ll not stand back and watch us end this world that I love
So I’ll work, never look back there’s only one way to head
Repeat Chorus …. (2nd time) ….there’s only one way to head [STOP]
One way to head

I don’t want to hear that things will turn out fine
It's not the kind of story we need at this time
When winter comes it comes for us all
Together we stand or together we fall

So we'll fight not stand back and watch us end this world that we love
So we'll work, never look back there’s only one way to head (Rept)

Only one way to head …

(Coda)
