Translation
Bilingual
There are too many people hurting
And not enough people caring
But they're learning
Who is sharing
And they're learning
Who is earning
ย
'Cause the web we are weaving is showing
That the knowledge is steadily growing
We're discerning
Who is hoarding
And we're learning
Who is earning
For it's only those criminals hiding
From the top of their pyramids chiding
"If you start climbing soon
We will leave you some room"
ย
'Cause there's too many people hurting
And not enough people caring
But they're learning
Who is earning
'Cause it's frightening
And concerning
But those millions of people are frail
When they try to climb pyramids they fail
They fail
So why should we climb
When it's a waste of our time?
Don't ask us to dream
Just to be part of your scheme
Why should we try
When you would just watch us die?
Why should we climb
When it's a waste of our time?
We're all told to crawl
While you build pyramids tall
The hand we have held
(Word's on the web, awareness has spread)
Seeing the rich live in dread
There'll come a time
(We know how you live, understand what you eat)
When we won't be too intrigued
So why should we climb
When it's a waste of our time?
Why would we climb
When it's a waste of our time?
ย
It seems unnatural, so we seek the truth we need
To know for sure, at its core, the issue is simple greed
And do we battle the billions' need to feed
Before we all can go
And the poor can reach the moon
We'll go
When the poor can reach the moon
When the ladder's long enough to stay where you're ballooned
Everyone with a space suit on just like an old cartoon
Then we all can go
When the poor can reach the moon
We'll go
When the poor can reach the moon
The moon
When the poor can reach the moon
When you see them struggling by
Look 'em in the eyeOn the moon up there, top of the stair
Staring down in wonder when we all can go
When the poor can go, we all can go
When the poor can go, we all can go
When the poor can reach the moon, we'll go
When the poor can reach the moon, the moon
When the poor can reach the moon, the moon
And we'll see them standing
Up there, the top of the stair
Staring down in wonder (when the poor can reach the moon)
Up there, the top of the stair
Staring down in wonder at the moon (when the poor can reach the moon)
Up there, the top of the stair
Staring down in wonder (when the poor can reach the moon)
Up there, the top of the stair
Staring down in wonder at the moon (when the poor can reach the moon)
Up there, the top of the stair
Staring down in wonder (when the poor can reach the moon)
Up there, the top of the stair
Staring down in wonder at the moon (when the poor can reach the moon)
Up there, the top of the stair
Staring down in wonder (when the poor can reach the moon)
Up there, the top of the stair
Staring down in wonder at the moon (when the poor can reach the moon)
Up there, the top of the stair
Staring down in wonder (when the poor can reach the moon)
Up there, the top of the stair
Staring down in wonder at the moon (when the poor can reach the moon)
The moon (when the poor can reach the moon)
The moon (when the poor can reach the moon)
And I pray we'll see it soon
The moon
The moon
The moon
The moon
The moon
