Us After Us

Let's bury our weapons
'Cause no one should use them again
Let's take a good care of our place
Under the Sun
We'll learn how to shelter the ones
Who have nowhere to go

Their longing for safety and peace
Got them on the run
So when we die
And find our place among the stars
I hope we'll shed our light
On the world we've built

Let's gather together and try
To understand
And learn of compassion
The faith and forgiveness
And how to live not causing pain
'Cause up until now

We are tripping on the fucking edge
So when we die
And find our place among the stars
I hope we'll shed our light
On the world we've built
On us after us

(I'd like us to try)
So when we die
And find our place among the stars
I hope we'll shed some light
On the world we've built
(We need to learn
There is something beyond

Our lives there'll be someone here
After we're gone)
So maybe it's time
We bury our guns
The flames are burning higher
There's so little time to stop

I'll rip my fucking heart out
To light the way if I must
For the people who'll outlast me
The people I trust
Us after us
