I swear I saw your face change,
A teardrop from your weary eyes.
The world we've come to know is changing fast,
And you believe the crying's over,
It ain't over.
Now you may run
And you may hide,
When night enfolds,
The breath of life,
The friend you left behind,
Died to young,
And you believe the dying's over,
It ain't over,
And you believe the dying's over,
In your ivory tower.
Now every day you hear about,
The ocean's rising,
Days of drought,
(In your ivory tower)
You watch the forests fall
The stars collide.
And you believe the fighting's over,
It ain't over,
You believe the fighting's over,
It ain't over,
In your ivory tower.
It ain't over,
In your ivory tower.
It ain't over
And you believe the crying's over,
It ain't over.
And you believe the dying's over,
In your ivory tower.
And you believe the fighting's over,
In your ivory tower.
