Living Things Lyrics - Tomlinson Michael

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
