Lyrics – 8000 Miles

8000 Miles

World is turning
faster than before
when ships sailed under sail
took months to reach the shore
World is burning
hotter than before
It’s hard to turn away
when the fires at your door

Whoa… she has PTSD
Whoa… we stand by and watch her bleed

We only have
8000 miles
It’s all we ever had
We only have
8000 miles
It’s all we got to share

Is there sharing
In your god-given rights
do you believe the words in red
but can’t see (the) lying with your eyes
Plastic islands
our children have to bare
you and I will be gone
what’s the last words that we share

Whoa… where are the strong
Whoa… the ones we counted on

We only have
8000 miles
It’s all we ever had
We only have
8000 miles
It’s all we got to share

Lead

Whoa… where are the strong
Whoa… the ones we counted on

We only have
8000 miles
It’s all we ever had
We only have
8000 miles
It’s all we got to share

8000 miles
Mother Earth needs our help
can’t you her hear her cry
Mother Earth
your 8000 miles
Is all we have to share
