Panopticon - Snow Burdened Branches lyrics

Young people come to me and they
Asked me "What is your hope
For the world?" And I always answer
That the hope for the
World is you you are the next generation
I am the old
Generation just like this little tree
Here this is a sapling
Right beside it is one of these
Enormous red pines this sapling epitomizes
You and the hope of the world
So when you wonder how things are going
Just remember that you have your
Task to do you’ve got
To carry on the battle to preserve
Such beautiful places as this
The battle goes on endlessly it’s
Your task you’ve got
To see that you keep the flame alive – no
Matter what obstacles the whole
World depends on
You! This whole world depends
On this little pine
In a sense just like at one time
It depended on those enormous trees here
