What My Eyes Have Seen
Magnitude Nine Lyrics

I saw the sun today in the usual way
The day started like any other day, with nothing noteworthy

But there's been an unseen change
Despite this, something has shifted in the world that is not immediately apparent

And we carry on with our lives, like we'll live forever
People continue their daily routines without considering the limited time they have on this earth

But the fact remains, we'll continue this way, the only ones to blame
Though we are aware of our limited time, we continue to live as if it were unlimited, and ultimately it is our own fault

It s time to realize, that we're in this together
The only way to create a better future is to acknowledge that everyone is connected and responsible for the world around them

Flying high above blue skies, on wings we'll never see
We often live a life disconnected from the beauty and intricacies of the world, taking it for granted

Knowing only for a while,we try to change our minds
Occasionally we attempt to change our perspectives, but it does not usually have a lasting effect

Try to face the truth and open up your eyes
We need to confront the harsh reality of our actions and take accountability

It's a sad disgrace, and we're losing the race
Our society is deteriorating as a result of our poor decision-making, and we are falling behind in the race to save ourselves

Our greed has made us blind
We have become so focused on acquiring more, that it has clouded our vision and caused us to lose sight of the bigger picture

Now we're far beyond our needs
We are using resources at an unsustainable rate, and have surpassed what we actually require

And too late to recover
If we do not act now, we will face irreversible and catastrophic consequences

Staring over endless miles, a memory where we have been
Reflecting on the past, it is clear that we have left a mark on the world, but it is not always positive

Hoping we'll remember, what our eyes have seen
We need to prioritize remembering the beauty and fragility of our world, in order to prevent it from being further damaged

Sa the world today, always spinning away
The world keeps moving, regardless of what is happening in it

While the simple fact remains
Despite everything, it is undeniably true that our actions have consequences

That the balance of mankind, will be changed forever
Humanity's impact on the world has already caused irreversible changes and has set us on a new path

How can we, a society, make ammends to save our race
It is up to our collective society to recognize this and take action to prevent further damage

While we rob our future blind, knowing forever
Despite knowing that our actions have damaging effects on the world, we continue to prioritize short-term gain over long-term sustainability

Can't we remember, we're in this together
It is essential that we remember that we are all connected, and the consequences of our actions extend beyond just ourselves

There will not be another way
If we do not act now, there will not be a second chance to save our planet

Hoping we'll remember, what our eyes have seen
We need to prioritize remembering the beauty and fragility of our world, in order to prevent it from being further damaged
