Six billion backs against the wall
Now do we walk or run?
This puzzle's falling into place
Once more around the sun
Remember when you were a kid
Those days were all so long
But if we don't do this
Somebody else will
Three billion backs against the wall
A prayer for everyone
We saw the changing of the sea
But not a thing was done
Remember when you could rely?
Those days are all but gone
And if we don't do this
Somebody else will
If we don't do this
Somebody else will
Somebody else will
One billion backs against the wall
At least our feet were dry
I was an island to myself
This storm would pass me by
Remembering the things I did
I knew I would survive
But if we don't do this
Somebody else will
If we don't do this
Somebody else will
Somebody else will
One million backs against the wall
Now do we walk or run?
One thousand backs against the wall
Now do we walk or run?
One hundred backs against the wall
Now do you walk or run?
It's just your back against the wall
Now do you walk or run?
Remember when you were a kid
Those days are all but gone
If we don't do this
Nobody else will
If we don't do this
Nobody else will
Nobody else will
