lyrics

In spite of the waves of uncertainty and fear,
I slept sounder and deeper than I had in years,

and dreamt that the animal kingdom had reclaimed
our world, undoing the damage heedlessly waged

by a reckless populace. The beasts rebalanced
the scales of our indifference: a second chance

to treat this Earth with the gratitude it deserves...
