It's not the clock that turns the tides
Or sees the Sun to set and rise
The Moon it is that ebbs the flow
And the sun comes up all on his own
You know we used to live under skies so blue
when the Sun and Moon said what to do
And the Moon and Stars told secrets of
A timeless place once full of love
But now it's glass and steel that keep us from
The World outside and her turnings of
It's growth and greed that blind us to
The changes we been putin her through
With blood red skies mistaken for
Red skies at night the sailors lore
And waters that once were clean
Well they need be purified by machine
