Why do we starve a thing thats near extinction?

Life's like a jig-saw

You get the straight bits

But there's something missing in the middle

All Of A Sudden We find the cupboard's bare
                   D                    A
All of a sudden We find heaven's not there
                   D                    A
All of a sudden We find the sun's gone cold

So please don't push or shove because

It's too late It's too late
                           G                            F#
In all your hurry you've accidentally locked the gate

D           A
What can we do?
D           A                          F
Trying to stem the flow of sand is useless
D            A
It's up to you
D              A                            F        Dm
start holding hands And watch the balance redress
Em
Life's like a firework

You're only lit once
               Dm                           G
And you must stand and radiate correctly
