The Reeks - Rearview Lyrics

Will there be another reason to try
Or was the opportunity just lost in the rearview
What priority of values do you choose to live or let die

What will you choose when the air is so filled with toxic the sun can not shine through
The ocean so filled with plastic that nothing ever moves
What will you tell your children, what will we tell ourselves
If with what was lost was an essential part of ourselves

Will there be another way to deny our effect on our planet's systems
Overpowering any balance we try to achieve

What will you choose when every acre of forest is equated to a dollar sign
Every mountain's purpose is defined by the coal that we can mine
What's the value of a system, what's the value of a life
And does it mean enough for you to find a way to fight for a change
For a way of respect to all living things, degradation is not a value we should bind to our names
No matter of the outcome most agree we drive unsustainably but what are you changing?
