As the Planet Floods and Burns

Wake up another morning, see my baby’s cheeks
Glad to be around to have another week
To watch the magic happen, find all there is to learn
As the planet floods and burns

Wake up another morning, grind some coffee beans
Turn on Al-Jazeera, marvel at the scenes
Towns reduced to ashes, while the twisters turn
As the planet floods and burns

Wake up another morning, picking on these strings
One more day to be here, find out what life brings
The horizon’s red and hazy, that much I can discern
As the planet floods and burns

Wake up another morning, watch the neighbors drive away
Heading to a warehouse to work another day
Leaving me to wonder how fast this wind can churn
As the planet floods and burns

Wake up another morning, see the Twitter trolls
Complain about the fascists who are living on the dole
Demanding safe space in the boxcar and other such concerns
As the planet floods and burns

Wake up another morning, see the orange hue
Know what needs to happen, don’t know what to do
Show me to the ark, where’s the bow and stern
As the planet floods and burns

Wake up another morning, in the now again
If I want to see the future, I can count to ten
History, you’ll find it in the tombstones and the urns
As the planet floods and burns
