We don’t appreciate anymore, not the big nor the small
We don’t appreciate anymore, not the young nor the old
We don’t appreciate the seasons, regularly bitching that it’s too warm or cold
We don’t appreciate the sky, the wind, the air we breathe
We don’t appreciate mother Earth, not knowing it bleeds
The ground we walk on, eroding under the pressure from our feet
You don’t see, we don’t see, you don’t see what I mean
The birds chirp, our iPods fade out mother nature’s music
It rains, we hide under a roof. Get wet, you say?
We don’t appreciate anymore, a walk in the street
We don’t appreciate anymore, we don’t see
In today’s world, three’s a crowd, and you want nations to come together?
Gaza, Haiti, people dying, buildings burst into flames, airplanes crash
We hear it on the news, we see pictures of the wreck and the flaming buildings
We go back to our regular lives, three days later, they live it constantly
You talk of coming together, when we don’t appreciate each other
“Bagez min a5oy!”, ma bidak itgez min wa7ad 3’areeb?
Family, means little to nothing anymore
Friends, an entity we find comes and goes
Unity, a term surpassed by self-dependency
Peace? You read it again and I laugh in your face
We know not what we know
We know not the East nor the West
We know not the sea or the land
We know not our homes, our soil, even ourselves
We constantly fight, fight, fight
We fight disease, evil spirits, fears
We learn not to accept the entities that are part of our daily lives, and then let them go
We continue to struggle, proving life a hardship it’s not meant to be
Live simple, accept that we live and we die
Before you unite with others, make an effort to unite with yourself
See yourself as one, not a schizophrenic collaborating all personalities but your own
Free your mind from the chains of commercialism and materialism
Free your mind from your own greeds
Free your mind from your own self
We don’t appreciate, you don’t appreciate, we don’t appreciate us.
