Here Below Lyrics

California is burning again

Guess it's safe to say

That one way or another

We're facing the end

Of our selfish, rough, and wicked ways

Ocean waters are rising again

Higher every day

And the brashest among us

No longer pretend

There's a way we come out of this okay

But as I look into the setting sun

I recall everything must go

And in time all of this will come undone

Here below

Foreign armies are fighting again

For freedom faith and land

In this country of plenty

There's plenty of pain

Though we do tend to die at our own hands

God, it feels like division these days

Venom, rancor and blame

It's so easy to look at

Another one's ways

And imagine we are not the same

But as I look into the setting sun

I recall there's much I do not know

And I can't find any hate for anyone

Here below

There are times I fear we're moving

Down a one way track

There are times I fear we're losing

Something we can't get back

Can we find peace behind the setting sun

Ere it burns everything we know?

Are we blind to the fate we're running from

Here below?
