It Won'T Fall Down

earth axis might shift 
but it won't fall down
strange seeds chopped the beanstalk
can you hear the sound
and when they've all been sown
the harvest comes around
realize thyself and wear the crown

this ain't my story
it belongs to the bee
to the butterfly, the air,
and all the trees

people say life is
beautiful, but race to die
can't build heaven on earth
so they try the sky

the bombs are still here
lingering just for fear
can the weapons be impeached
where's the power to steer

on one hand the love is rising
and the vibe is strong
but on the other hand
the leaders are holding on
but we don't know how long

earth axis might shift
but it won't fall down
strange seeds chopped the beanstalk
can you hear the sound
and when they've been sown
the harvest comes around
realize thyself and wear the crown
