lyrics

Something forgotten of the core
See withered life wash up at your door
For some the clouds never seem to part

With grace that can take on any shape
She nurtures through the day
Signals of her ancient web so jumbled

Usurp the animating breath of our tomorrow
Begging a beggar to pay back
the fortune that he’s borrowed

Oh, can somebody hear me?
I hope that someone out there can understand
Right now I need a helping hand

Feels her back against the back
Waiting for a clarion call
To cut through the lulling, glamorous din

The toxic waste has spilled its paint
through every scene of her every day
The basis of life left shivering in the corner

Can we not see the back room’s sacrificial altar?
Crowning our greed while turning
Our mother into a martyr

Oh, can somebody hear me?
I hope that someone out there can understand
Right now I need a helping hand

The moment you need the most
See the chips roll on in
Maybe learn from our mistakes
Maybe flood, fires, and earthquakes
Either way time is running out, ooh

I know that you can hear me,
I hope that everyone will understand
Right now I need a helping hand

Oh, my body’s blistering and I don’t
Know how much more that I can stand
So right now I need a helping hand

Right now I need a…

The moment you need the most
Is the moment we need
The moment we need the most
Is the moment you need
The moment you need the most
Is the moment we need
The moment we need the most
Is the moment you need

Can you hear me, yeah?
I hope you can hear me
I hope you can hear me, yeah
