Carbon Copy Lyrics

This is our burden.
The pain we endure, we must carry it together.
It will soon become a memory.
It's staring us in the face, but we just turn the other way.
Take the easy route while millions of people's homes fall to the ground.
Merciless and unforgiving as it sets us back.
The truth could bury us all in the end.
You and I walk carefully as we lighten our step and hope our tracks just disappear.
We don't want to leave an imprint.
This can't be what we're known for.
I'll leave the world as it was given to me, flowing full of life and filled with diversity.
I can look with pride in my child's eyes, and he will know I helped preserve what may have died.
He will know what I've done.
We will look ahead.
The trail I've left won't lead the history books right back to me.
This generation won't let it all just slip away.
Don't let it slip away.
I'll walk forward and sense the ground beneath me.
The choice is mine.
I need to make the right one.
The earth may remember what we have done.
The choice is mine.
I need to make the right one.
