lyrics

Lily
I will give you a world you deserve
From the clouds to the depths of the earth
And your mother will too
Lily
We will suck all the smog out the sky
And we'll clean up the ocean in time
So the colors stay blue

You are just a concept for now
I won't let a single tyrant knock you down
I won't let a broken climate scratch you out
Before you're alive
And even if you can't breathe on your own
Even if you don't enjoy the radio
I will find in you a will I've never known
To survive
(Promise)

Are you the light, Hare Krishna
Or are you as cold as a Hallelujah?
Leonard's 81st draft of a verse never done
Do I cut you? Do I move on?

Lily
Please forgive us for wasting your time
We are not prepped for you to arrive
Everything's laced with doom
Lily
You're the greatest hope that I've got
That the earth isn't destined to rot
And the flowers will bloom

You are just a concept for now
I won't let a single tyrant knock you down
I won't let a broken climate scratch you out
Before you're alive
And even if you can't breathe on your own
Even if you don't enjoy the radio
I will find in you a will I've never known
To survive

Do I move on?
