each and every thing we take, the earth gives
I care about the whereabouts of the kids
please live to be someone the world needs
still sleeping in chambers on life support
as the trees breathe, in a sea breeze
you're now in the cold so don't freeze
everyone's in a chain, so to speak
the bondage and pain is real, too weak
to take it by yourself, the pill, in two weeks
sperm and ovum, an embryo
form a union, an assembly
yo I want you to know, truth be told
one day, hope to have one of my own
if I could prepare the baby a home
in a country, I can be proud to call home
maybe then, we can all imagine
a picture perfect family
parents looking at their carbon copies
carbohydrate, amino acid
and enzyme a healthy progeny
a new project of a century
you say anti-this and anti-that
well can't I be in a state of peace
show a sigh of relief, or sign of grief
sing for truth, or face deceit
to stop the fight doesn't mean defeat
to quit the fight doesn't mean retreat
stay calm and not be beaten
let's chant to the beat then
each and every thing we take, the earth gives
I care about the whereabouts of the kids
please live to be someone the world needs
still sleeping in chambers on life support
as the trees breathe, in a sea breeze
you're now in the cold so don't freeze
everyone's in a chain, so to speak
the bondage and pain is real, too weak
to take it by yourself, the pill, in two weeks
we can be strong, if in trust we seek
