D D/C# D/B G
The sky was light and the land all dark
The petal sky and the rosy dawn
Run run run run said the automobile and we ran
Turn away from your animal kind
As if you were your own creation
We thought we ought to walk awhile
We reached the tree line and I dropped my pack
Pray for the forest pray to the tree
D D/C# D/B G
The sun rose up over central park
The world turning on the burning sun
Run for your life take to your heels
Try to leave your body just to live in your mind
As if you were the chosen nation
So we left that town in a single file
Sat down on my haunches and I looked back down over the mountain
Pray for the fish in the deep blue sea
D D/C# D/B
I was walking home from work
Sacred wet green one that we live on
Foolish school of fish on wheels
Leave your cold cruel mother earth behind
And the world around you just a rude and dangerous invasion
Up and up and up mile after mile after mile
Helpless and speechless and breathless
Pray for yourself and for god's sake say one for me
A Asus2 A
Gaia
G Bm A
Someone's got to stop us now
C A G
Save us from us gaia
F D
No one's gonna stop us now
G
Poor wretched unbeliever
