Afternoon Matinee: Protest - Saltwater

Performed by Julian Lennon

We are a rock revolving

Around a golden sun

We are a billion children

Rolled into one

So when I hear about

The hole in the sky

Saltwater wells in my eyes

We climb the highest mountain

We'll make the desert bloom

We're so ingenious

We can walk on the moon

But when I hear of how

The forests have died

Saltwater wells in my eyes

I have lived for love

But now that's not enough

For the world I love is dying

(And now I'm crying)

And time is not a friend

(No friend of mine)

As friends we're out of time

And it's slowly passing by

Right before our eyes

We light the deepest ocean

Send photographs of Mars

We're so enchanted by

How clever we are

Why should one baby

Feel so hungry she cries

Saltwater wells in my eyes

I have lived for love

But now that's not enough

For the world I love is dying

(And now I'm crying)

And time is not a friend

(No friend of mine)

As friends we're out of time

And it's slowly passing by

Right before our eyes

We are a rock revolving

Around a golden sun

We are a billion children

Rolled into one

What will I think of me

The day that I die

Saltwater wells in my eyes

Saltwater wells in my eyes
