Verse 1:
  Em                  Am
The leaves are bursting brightly slowly turning into flame
C                    D   G F#
soon they'll lose their strength shrivel up and turn to gray
Em             Am
the cold takes over little crystals from the sky
 C           D     G   F#
a wondrous white blanket covers all throughout the night
    Em               Am
in the morning it's the sun sprinklin' glitter all around
  C             D    G    F#
the wind blows softly like a lullabye through town
  Em                Am
and all this has happened while your mind's preoccupied
   C                 D   G  F#     Em
it's the ugly way of man that keeps us down and makes us blind
Am      C    G  F#
woh oh oh oh woh oh oh ooooh

Pre-Chorus:
C               D
From a little tiny ant to the birds up in the sky
     Em               G
We could swim with the dolphins we could climb a mountainside
     C            D
We could hunt with the lions Lay beneath the stars at night
  Em          G            Em
Procreating our existence underneath the moonlight
  Am     C   D   G F#
woh oh oh oh oh oh oh ooooh
Em   Am    C   D   G F#
woh oh oh oh oh oh oh ooooh

Verse 2:
Em           Am
One great tear splashes down upon the ground
C               D    G  F#
Love paints and magic created life to swim around
Em              Am
The sun burned hotter as the earth grew taller
     C              D      G F#
There was beauty overwhelming all that life had to offer
Em                 Am
They crawled above the sky and they crawled above the earth
C                D     G   F#
Life was blooming sweetly as the world was giving birth
Em              Am
The necessities of life were pure and simple in their ways
C                 D         G  F# Em
To sustain and exist, things would love to live each day-ay-ay
    Am      C  D  G  F#
woh oh oh oh oh oh oh ooooh

Pre-chorus:
C               D
From a little tiny ant to the birds up in the sky
     Em               G
We could swim with the dolphins we could climb a mountainside
     C            D
We could hunt with the lions Lay beneath the stars at night
  Em          G    F#
Procreating our existence underneath the moonlight
      C              D
We've been polluted all the beauty that surrounds our daily lives
Em              G
Technology is killing me It's bleeding me dry
    C           D
Communication has no patience Radiating inside
  Em              D        Em
Our prophecy's no longer free one great eye in the sky

Interlude:

Em  C   Em  D

  Em           C      Em            D  G  F#
The sun beams down from the moon like a nightlight shattering the gloom
  Em            C       Em       E       D
The sun starts warming up the ground like a warm breath of light beamin' down
  Em             C      Em            G
The rain starts nourishing the seeds as the sun helps it grow up into trees
Em         G   C      Em                D    G F#
The trees give life to all who need so everything on earth can live and breathe
Em    Am      C   D  G F#
woh oh oh oh oh oh oh ooooh
Em    Am      C   D  G F#

Verse 3:
 Em              Am
You wake up to the shrieks of the angry cars outside
C         D             G F#
Everybody's way to busy living in this modern life
  Em                 Am
Always texting driving tweeting into cyber overdrive
    C      D            D  G  F#
It's a hi-def fog blurrin' out the earth's pride
   Em                 Am
We're the lazy generation our question's answered with a click
       C              D     G    F#
Why leave the house to seek out knowledge when it's all at your fingertips
   Em               Am
If we just got back to basics put one seed into the earth
  C                 D         G  F#
We could heal this epidemic save the world before it's cursed
Em      Am    C     D
woh oh oh oh oh oh oh ooooh

Chorus:
C               D
From a little tiny ant to the birds up in the sky

C               D
Communication has no patience Radiating inside
  Em              G
Our prophesy's no longer free one great eye in the sky
C              D
Stop staring at the screens Stop countin' on machines
Em                 G
Start livin' in the world that your eyes were meant to see
      C            D
We've been polluting our own beauty forgettin' what we shouldn't
      Em               G
We need to keep our bodies happy keep our souls from feelin' empty
  C             D
The Sun rises in the east and sets in the west
  Em               G
The stars are out at night and the moon it likes the rest
  C                D
All this is common knowledge which soon will be forgot
Em             G        C
Unless we take a second to let the beauty blossom
D      Em
wooh woh ooh ooh
G          C
