Lyrics Manifesto (Apple Music Live) - Björk

It is an emergency

In order to survive as species
We need to define our Utopia

The Paris Climate Accord is a model Utopia

Impossible to imagine
But overcoming our environmental challenges
Is the only way we can survive

We have to imagine something
That doesn't exist
Carve intentionally into the future
And demand a space for hope

Weave a matriarchal dome

Let's imagine a world
Where nature and technology collaborate

And make a song about it

Let's make a musical mock-up for our destination
And then move into it

After disasters, in all mythologies around the world
One captures the spirit with a flute and starts anew

Carved out of the first fauna
We arrive on a new island
With mutant species
Unknown hybrids of birds and plants

Our past is on loop
Turn it off
Let's be intentional about the light

Imagine a future
Be in it
