Glass Bubble Home
Words & music by Ed Hooke, May 2008   -   © Ed Hooke 2008

Do you think if we try the same things
just another one time
we might be able to save ourselves?
Do you think that we might?

Do you think if we could turn back clocks
we'd do things differently?
Do you think maybe it's not too late?
Do you think there's still time?

We have built a glass bubble home
atop a rickety tower.
The wind blows.  The tower groans
but we ignore the signs.
When our glass bubble home topples
and hurtles down in the tide
your life and my life are swept aside.

Do you see now how the tide has turned?
- how it's starting to rise?
Do you think we can just look away?
Do we just close our eyes?

Do you remember how carelessly
and how fast that we burned?
Do you think this is now payback for
all the things we've not learned?

We have built a glass bubble home
atop a rickety tower.
The wind blows.  The tower groans
but we ignore the signs.
When our glass bubble home topples
and hurtles down in the tide
your life and my life are swept aside.
