This Is Far From Over

Lyrics

Though half of life is gone for good
 And we haven't acted as we should
 You feel it in your heart of wood
 That this is far from over
 Shorelines gone and maps destroyed
 Livelihoods dissolved and void
 Entire languages unheard
 And still it's far from over
 Be sure you teach your kids to swim
 And navigate by stars above
 The fate of landlocked life is grim
 When you ignore our will to love
 When all that's left is sea and sun
 A lonely voice says, "All's not done
 It's your child who will be the one
 To sing it's far from over'"
 A traveller upon the sea
 Sings, "It's a sailor's life for me
 I now embrace eternity
 'Cause this is far from over"
 You never know what she will find
 When we are dead and she is sailing
 Nor what new thoughts will cross her mind
 As wind blows in her hair
 ♪
 Don't worry if all life is gone
 The rocks and sea will still roll on
 And new wild creatures will be born
 As this is far from over
 The whole world's far from over
