2000 RICKSHAWS

2000 rickshaws pedaling in the sun
2000 people already on the run
2000 stories waiting to be told
Will their dreams leave them before they get old?

2000 moments living in their time
2000 people riding in straight lines
2000 years and we just keep on trying
Can the millennium keep us from crying?

CHORUS

2000 rickshaws
2000 years
2000 lessons
2000 tears.

BRIDGE

2000 gypsies traveling around
2000 drifters chasing every sound
2000 roses growing from the ground
Will they blossom or will we tear them down? 


CHORUS



2000 engines polluting the air
2000 factories with poisons to share
2000 TVs beaming with their glare
Can we turn they off, is it only fair?

2000 missiles waiting for their blast
2000 soldiers wonder if they'll last
2000 rickshaws dealing toward the past
If they can be saved we'd better act fast.
