Hourglass
演唱：Murray McLauchlanSomehow I'm still an optimist
Though you might think it's strange
That we can still make changes
Before we're forced to change
But I see the sand run out
Through the hourglass
I swear I don't remember
That it ever ran this fast
I don't pray for the departed
They are the lucky ones
I pray instead for all of those
Whose future's yet to come
Trying to make a better world
Such as we've never seen
Trying not to get run over
By a global greed machine
What is it that we really need
Is it bright and shiny stuff
Is it all about the money
Don't we ever have enough
This self-perpetuating thing
The human race has made
Won't do us any good
When the memory of us fades
Though you might think it's strange
That we can still make changes
Before we're forced to change
But I see the sand run out
Through the hourglass
I swear I don't remember
That it ever ran this fast
I don't pray for the departed
They are the lucky ones
I pray instead for all of those
Whose future's yet to come
Trying to make a better world
Such as we've never seen
Trying not to get run over
By a global greed machine
What is it that we really need
Is it bright and shiny stuff
Is it all about the money
Don't we ever have enough
This self-perpetuating thing
The human race has made
Won't do us any good
When the memory of us fades
