This World Moves On slows the mood. S J rarely uses the piano as his weapon of choice, but when he does the results are stunning. The lyric is inspired by Greta Thunberg, providing stark imagery of the global challenges unfolding before our eyes.
lyrics
Took a ride in a hot air balloon
I flew straight up
I came back down
And I landed in a different place
This world moves on
“Can’t you see all the damage we’ve done?”
I heard her say
I must agree
Things were better in the golden age
This world moves on
I’m sick and tired of repeating myself
My words just fall upon deaf ears
These are the days of the unafraid
This world moves on
This world moves on
