    It's a crazy crazy world
    *
    It's life we can't run away from,
    the world is becoming very personal
    Clouds for the first time are telling
    stories and they are very personal too
    -
    Can we just agree we have no control
    over all the changes that befall us!
    A kid wants to know why he's born with adult pain, is he to blame for our mistakes?
    -
    The world is changing and we don't know how it happens, changes come left and right we can't pin point the starting points
    We cry for loved ones that are far and close
    -
    Climate change is upon us and the burning Ozone layer is blamed on civilization
    Dark clouds befall us yet we need the industrial revolution and we need clear skies
    -
    We cry for loved ones in our verses like maidens who are about to marry deceased grooms trapped in the fight against poverty for their families
    Men have to work amidst the changing times, the changing dark revolution
    -
    Dark clouds befall us, we cry everyday
    Cries of maidens are heard more daily
    Yet if we dig deep the solution isn't hidden
    We burning the only Earth that can save us, we know we need more oxygen
    -
    We need more greenery to survive
    But survival is reserved for the fittest
    Men die in millions working their sweat off for the few individuals and their families are left with a change and you ask why more maidens are crying everyday
    -
    Can the fat men on top of the food chain stop draining the blood of the maidens?
    How long was the question then and now
    And the maidens are still crying looking at young boys that are awaiting same fate 
    This is a crazy crazy world!
