Paradise
Awakening to Earth's Cry: Time to Save Our Paradise
Lyrics
Late at night I find myself again
Late at night, the singer finds themselves reflecting again.
Wondering and watching TV
Engaged in contemplation while watching television.
I can't believe what is on the screen
The content on the screen is unbelievable or unsettling.
Something that I wouldn't care to see
The content is something undesirable to witness.
Many rare species will perish soon
Many rare species are facing imminent extinction.
And we will be short on food
Predicts scarcity of food due to this loss.
Why do we have to be so selfish
Questioning why humans exhibit selfish behaviors.
We've got to change our attitude
Calls for a change in human attitudes.
I know that I am not
The singer acknowledges they aren't the only one concerned.
The only one that's worried
Expresses worry about the situation.
Why don't we all
Suggests everyone should awaken to reality.
Wake up, and realize
Emphasizes the need for realization.
Like the birds in the sky
Compares humanity to birds soaring high in the sky.
We are flying so high
Reflects the elevation and progress of humanity.
Without making any kind of sacrifice
Remarks on progress without making necessary sacrifices.
We've got so little time
Time available to rectify the situation is limited.
To undo this crime
Highlights urgency to reverse the damage caused.
Or we'll lose our paradise
Warns about losing our ideal state or paradise.
It seems to me that there's no sense at all
Expresses a feeling of meaninglessness or lack of logic.
Nobody cares it's always the same
Indifference prevailing among people, a recurring pattern.
Mother nature's crying out in pain
Describes Mother Nature's distress or suffering.
We are the ones to blame
Humanity bears responsibility for Nature's pain.
I know that I am not
Similar to line 11, reiterates shared concern.
The only one that's worried
Continued worry about the situation.
Why don't we all
Advocates collective awakening to reality.
Wake up, and realize
Emphasizes the need for realization among all.
Like the birds in the sky
Reiterates comparison of humanity to flying birds.
We are flying so high
Highlights the elevation of humanity without sacrifice.
Without making anykind of sacrifice
Repeats the idea of lack of sacrifice despite progress.
We've got so little time
Underlines the limited time to rectify the situation.
To undo this crime
Emphasizes urgency to reverse the 'crime' against nature.
Or we'll lose our paradise
Warns about the imminent loss of paradise if action isn't taken.
