When all the lights go out
Fire will rise again
Warmth emits from small flames burning
Entertainment is created from brains
And transportation requires movement
Food comes from nature and cans
We rely on labor to provide
Awareness is reborn in people
As we wait for the sun to rise and set
Only the cognizant and responsible
Will live with little panic
Natural resources bring water
Tempers rise and fall within people and the Earth
But we will live
We will walk out of the ashes stronger
We will make it work
Even through troubles and dilemmas
Through deaths and sicknesses
We will continue on
