    Story Behind the Song
    Seeing the effect of living high on the hog in the stretch of my own lifetime - I am a fifties "kid" - turned 13 in 1958...the song seeks the balance the Hopi phrase Koyaanisqatsi say we are woefully out of, the suggestion is simple yet none-too simplistic - help each other help ourselves...

    Lyrics
    Poison's got our river, liquid plastic's got our cream
    Hard Liquor gets your liver, have we forgotten how to dream?
    We've been waving sorceror's stick, just like Mickey Mouse
    And now the waters are rising, they're rising 'round our house

    CHORUS: All the world is waiting for us, to find ourself anew
    All the world is waiting for us, to find ourself anew
    When we help each other help Ourself,
    WE CAN MAKE OUR DREAM COME TRUE

    War tax gets your money, mad doctor gets your sanity
    As sure as a clear day is sunny, we've all got our vanity
    Progress can be deadly, say the salmon in the stream
    We're teetering on the edge of life's balance beam

    CHORUS: All the world is waiting for us...

    Loan company gets your TV, poverty cuts like a knife
    We've all got to be free, 'fore cold earth gets our life
    There's more to holy water than a faucet in a kitchen sink
    Water, water, everywhere - but, is it safe to drink?

    CHORUS: All the world is waiting for us...

    Lumber company gets our pine tree, coal company gets our grave
    Anyone who reads the sign sees we've got a world to save
    It's becoming time to raise the spirit, there's no need to fear it
    WE SING AS SOON AS WE HEAR IT, WE SING AS
    SOON AS WE HEAR IT!

    CHORUS: All the world is waiting for us...
