It's early in the morning and the winds died down
There's a distant hope we might all pull through this
I heard some people mumbling around our tent
The tides have stopped rising and the earth's axis set

We are the survivors of a life that use to be
We are the builders of a new humanity

It's Saturday morning and we packed our stuff
Our home is under water if the radio is correct
Now there's nowhere we can go home to
My dad says he's gonna rent a hotel room

Building it up from the ground to the air
Building it up with a wise man's stare
Maybe we can do it right this time
Maybe we can find a good way to live

I'm getting ready to take a shower in our room
There's a couple of channels on TV playing the news
There's places we can go if our home is gone
Maybe everything will be alright after all

Building it up from the ground to the air
Building it up with a wise man's stare
Maybe we can do it right this time
Maybe we can find a good way to live

The pressure was on
We pushed on through
We beat the system
The ecosystem
