Jophiel - Susie Suh

Jophiel

I am weeping by the well

Shadows are sweeping over the land

And birds are falling out of the sky

The fish are belly up

The oil is pouring and mother is giving up

Jophiel help us find a way

Jophiel help us change our ways

The plants and trees are mourning

And the animals are begging me

With urgency, with urgency they ask me for help

And I’ve spoken to the council

And they are silent

They say only we can stop it

But time is running out

Jophiel help us find a way

Jophiel help us change our ways

The delicate balance has been shaken by selfishness and greed

How can it be that they do not see that all of this will be gone

Darkness is taking over the land oh Jophiel

And we are not waking fast enough, waking fast enough, waking fast enough

Jophiel help us find a way

Jophiel help us change our ways
