about

Written after Emily visited China in 2014.. A trip which developed a new awareness to the dangers faced by our planet through gross abuse and negligence of natural resources.

lyrics

You let the days pass. You let the night come
You dream of China. You dream of no one
I'm here to remind you, don't forget. Forget it
I'm here to remind you
You call your father. You let it ring
You celebrate him
We are, gonna get it right
We are, gonna get it wrong
You let the phone ring. You let it pass
You want everything, you're afraid to ask
I'm here to remind you, don't forget. Forget it.
I'm here to remind you
You want nothing. Cause nothing lasts
except wanting
And want and get and need and pride
