Okay I, I don't take the sea for granted
It could dry any time it wants
I don't take the sky for granted
It could fall anytime it pleases
I don't take the land for granted
It could flood anytime this year
Nor do I the seeds it's planted
They could easily take me down
Why can't I get through
Why can't I get through
Why can't I get through to you
You'll never understand till it's gone and there's blood on your hands
Well, I know damn well what I give is what I ought to get
But what if what I give is something I alone possess?
The world could turn itself on its head
It could turn clockwise instead
The earth could spin to the west, hey!
I don't take the sea for granted
It could dry any time it wants
I don't take the sky for granted
It could fall anytime it pleases
I don't take the land for granted
It could flood anytime this year
Nor do I the seeds it's planted
They could easily take me down
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down
Just don't you take me for granted
The air in my lungs
It never comes easily
Sometimes my throat constricts and I cannot breathe
I wheeze and pray for a gasp of fresh air
A slip of the tongue
Could rattle a house of cards
Like a snake, suffocate, asphyxiate
There's no fix, too late
Tipping over, but you seem sober
So where'd that judgment go?
The world could turn itself on its head
It could turn clockwise instead
The earth could spin to the west, hey!
I don't take the sea for granted
It could dry any time it wants
I don't take the sky for granted
It could fall anytime it pleases
I don't take the land for granted
It could flood anytime this year
Nor do I the seeds it's planted
They could easily take me down
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down
Take a photo while you can
We won't be here for long
Lonely wolf keeps lambs as friends
Starves when they are gone, oh
I don't take the sea for granted
It could dry any time it wants
I don't take the sky for granted
It could fall anytime it pleases
I don't take the land for granted
It could flood anytime this year
Or nor do I the seeds it's planted
They could easily take me down
