I swear I saw your face change,

a teardrop from your weary eyes.

The world we've come to know sis changing fast,

and you believe the crying's over,

it ain't over.

Now you may run

and you may hide,

when night enfolds,

the breath of life,

the friend you left behind,

died to young,

and you believe the dying's over,

it ain't over,

in your ivory tower.

Now every day you hear about,

the ocean's rising,

days of drought,

you watch the forests fall -

the stars collide,

and you believe the fighting's over,

it ain't over,

you believe the fighting's over,

it ain't over,

in your ivory tower.

It ain't over.

and you believe the crying's over,

it ain't over.

and you believe the dying's over,

it ain't over,

and you believe the fighting's over,

in your ivory tower.
