Lyrics
RHINOHORN Words /Music S. Haworth c) 2022
V1
This old world seems so sad now
There's a shadow on our ancient sun
All the wild things are crying
We count our trees here one by one
Come and walk by the ocean
Dancing sun on the breakers kiss the shore
Below the tidemark is silent
Above us eagles fly no more
Feels like a rhinohorn cutting through me
Are we too far gone to see
CH
Cuts like a rhinohorn are we too far gone
I really don't believe what you say to me
Cuts like a rhinohorn now the fabric's torn
Cuts so deep we no longer see
Its like a rhinohorn.
V2
Forests .......turn to desert
Mighty iceflows turn to sea
No mountains left to conquer
Getting harder just to breathe
Our prayers can never change what we fear
And powers strong but we're not wrong we just belong here
Maybe somehow we can find a pilot guide
And try to put things right.
CH
Cuts like a rhinohorn are we too far gone
I really don't believe what you say to me
Cuts like a rhinohorn now the fabric's torn
It cuts so deep we no longer see
Its like a rhinohorn.
Its like a rhinohorn.
Its like a rhinohorn.
