Lyrics

There's no spaceship in the wings
Waiting to take us home
We are where we've always been just
Sea and soil and bone
And sometimes when the sun is high
And the wind a warm embrace
Well I wonder what we might have been
If we hadn't wrecked this place

See the children in the streets
Look how they play and play
They're so small so rough so sweet
Just dancing their lives away
Sometimes when my child is near
I can't look into her face
'Cause I wonder what she might have been
If I hadn't wrecked this place

There is no room for excuse
We've done what we have done
We treated such a fragile place
Like a war we could have won
And if we finally go too far
And disappear without a trace
Well I wonder what we might have been
If we hadn't wrecked this place
