Lyrics for How Is It (We Are Here)

How is it we are here, on this path we walk? In this world of pointless fear filled with empty talk Descending from the ape as scientist-priests all think Will they save us in the end? We're trembling on the brink Men's mighty mine-machines digging in the ground Stealing rare minerals where they can be found Concrete caves with iron doors bury it again While a starving, frightened world fills the sea with grain Her love is like a fire burning inside Her love is so much higher, it can't be denied She sends us her glory It's always been there Her love's all around us It's there for you and me to share Men's mighty mine-machines digging in the ground Stealing rare minerals where they can be found Concrete caves with iron doors bury it again While a starving, frightened world fills the sea with grain How is it we are here? How is it we are here? How is it we are here?
