Guus Meeuwis En Vagant - 't Dondert En 't Bliksemt (Levensecht) lyrics

Standing on a lonely shore, beauty does unfold

Kissed by the dawning light, the sea is painted gold

Never seen alike before, innocent and pure

We never see, we just destroy, we run this planet down

[Refr.]

Living to destroy

Looking with closed eyes

Getting sad - as I understand

I see a dolphin cry

Have you heard, birds greet the day, so full of joy they sing

Remember the smell of forests, the innocence of spring

But we forget and close our eyes, beauty fades away

The big machine must run forever, forget the price we pay.

Everybody makes profit, businesses going well

We buy, we grab, we hold with greed, but how much do we sell

Rich but poor we celebrate, lost the best we've had

I realize but can not change it, getting cold and sad
