Olivia Pileggi - The Beginning Lyrics

The beginning is far from here
The ocean's no longer clear
The Amazon Forest's trees
Are burning so rapidly

It's not what they used to, SAY!

The beginning is far from here
The forests have all been cleared
The oceans, rivers, and streams
Are collectively rising

The humans are parasites
Consuming at new found heights
Draining every resource dry
They don't have a reason why

It's not how we used to, BE!

The wind is calling for me
To write these lyrics for peace
Make humans open their eyes
Their life is a living lie

Make humanity start to see
They're not living in harmony
With the land and the earth and sea
They don't really own anything

It's not what we used to, SEE!

The beginning is far from here
The air is no longer clear
The forests and trees burning
The water and streams rising

The land and the Earth and sea
Are asking for harmony
The Native Elders were right
Living with the changing tides

It's not what they used to
It's not what they used to...

It's not what they used to say!
It's not what they used to say!
It's not what we used to see!
It's not what we used to be...
