"Downstream" lyrics

What's in the water? What's in the wind?
The weather is wilder than it's ever been
The ocean's still blue, but it ain't what it seems
It's time to remember that we all live downstream

What's gonna happen? What will you think?
When it's not so easy to get you a drink
The water is changing, the well's going dry
It surely might kill us in the sweet by and by

You sleepwalk for centuries and don't look around
At the progress of man, determined and bound
We live in the ruins of another life's dream
Oh, but nobody told us that we all live downstream

There's an island adrift out in the sea
It's being made special by you and by me
Nothing can live there, nothing can be
We're learning the hard way that we all live downstream

You sleepwalk for centuries and you don't look around
At the progress of man, determined and bound
We live in the ruins of another life's dream
Oh, and we should have known that we all live downstream
