[Verse] The river bends where the willows lean A quiet witness to what we've seen We take and take We build and break But every choice It leaves a wake [Prechorus] The earth will heal if we begin The path is long But we’re woven in [Chorus] The change we hold is in our hands Not in some distant promised land Step by step We’ll shape the day The natural world will find its way [Verse 2] The sparrow calls through the morning dew A song of hope Of something new Fields of green Or smoke-filled skies The truth is here It never lies [Prechorus] One small act A seed we sow Together strong The roots will grow [Chorus] The change we hold is in our hands Not in some distant promised land Step by step We’ll shape the day The natural world will find its way
