Stand by, stand by 

We thought our lives were meant to last 
We thought bad dreams were in the past 
We thought forever was eternity 

And if we, we try together we can climb 
The highest mountains any time 
We'll live forever and eternally 

Cause I can see stars taking cover 
Stand by, I can see birds start to hover 
Stand by, don't forget nature's our mother 
Stand by, raised by the sand, stand, stand 

I can see water is breaking 
Stand by, I can see people forsaking 
Stand by, don't forget nature is shaking 
Stand by, raised by the sand, stand, stand 

The world is moving towards the end 
The higher powers won't defend 
Our lonely planet, a mark in history 

Good save me, the trees that swung in summer sun 
The children played their games for fun 
I thought they'd live to see eternity 

Cause I can see stars taking cover 
Stand by, I can see birds start to hover 
Stand by, don't forget nature's our mother 
Stand by, raised by the sand, stand, stand 

I can see water is breaking 
Stand by, I can see people forsaking 
Stand by, don't forget nature is shaking 
Stand by, raised by the sand, stand, stand 

We can do anything, anytime 
Let's heal the wounds now 

Cause I can see stars taking cover 
Stand by, I can see birds start to hover 
Stand by, don't forget nature's our mother 
Stand by, raised by the sand, stand, stand 

I can see water is breaking 
Stand by, I can see people forsaking 
Stand by, don't forget nature is shaking 
Stand by, raised by the sand, stand, stand
