Sure, the earth didn't get any bigger But this place right here seems huge compared To these cities that once ran riot like a black disease Oh see, do you recall the big pandemics? And the effort this planet made to get rid Of this vicious plague known as humanity When an old dying tree has lost its power to grow When a bruised and battered river threatens to overflow Then it hurts to know that there's nothing you can do So let it burst, let it burst, let it burst As time went by, affliction made us see Expansion is not only quantity And people stopped yearning for wealth and eternity And all at once everyone could breathe When an old dying tree has lost its power to grow When a bruised and battered river threatens to overflow Then it hurts to know that there's nothing you can do So let it burst, let it burst, let it burst Let it burst Let it burst When an old dying tree has lost its power to grow When a bruised and battered river threatens to overflow Then it hurts to know that there's nothing you can do So let it burst, let it burst, let it burst
