Song Information:
The original of this song was released on Mixposure in January 2009, sadly I lost my master tracks in an irretrievable disk crash last year, and I wanted to mix it better so I re-recorded the song this year with some slightly better equipment. Tried to keep the feel of the original, it's still pretty much the same... The story behind the original (Chris playing eco-warrior again...): There are 6.5 billion people on this earth. We have enough oil for maybe 40 years. Everyone tells us we need growth, more of everything. Truth is, it all has to come from somewhere and there isn't that much left... That's what this song is about.

Lyrics:
This is a symphony of hope
It's a symphony of fear
It's a symphony of life
And where it goes from here Where will you run to my pretty one when the oceans come back to reclaim all they’ve lost
Will you be lucky my little one to live out your days as you pick up the cost
Of our faith of the truth of a destiny fitting of man and a legacy fitting of no man
No child no land We fill up the earth in our image we reach for the sky and what lays beyond
We may not be there at the finish but know that we people were weak
And our leaders were strong and they knew
They knew we were making a destiny fitting of man and a legacy fitting of no man
No child no land And I was listening to the news where city men will air their views
And progress is the word they take in place of greed or big mistake
The growth we seek will soon return we’ve a hundred years of oil to burn
And all these things consumers need six billion hungry mouths to feed
We must succeed yeah we must succeed Everything we take for granted everything we work for
Every seed of life we’ve planted’s going to make it hurt more
Time will come for everyone ‘cause we’re playing contranature
Time will come for everyone playing contranature It's a symphony of hope
And it's a symphony of fear
It's a symphony of life
And where it goes from here
Contranature!
