The Onceler Lyrics

Do you remember the Once-ler?
Who saw the world as his to take
And said "I really only fracture,
The rules that we made to break!"
Never really seemed to notice
The things we find appaling
Smiling as the final
Truffula was falling, falling, falling
Leave the world to heal tomorrow
Knowing we can always

Run to higher ground
Same day, different story
When we pay the now we borrow
Falling, falling, falling
And there's no one left around

Do you remember the Once-ler?
Finally drove the world away
Turning all the things we live for
Turned the sky from blue to gray
Never really seemed to notice
The things we find appaling
Smiling as the final
Truffula was falling, falling, falling
Leave the world to heal tomorrow
Knowing we can always
Run to higher ground
Same day, different story
When we pay the now we borrow
Falling, falling, falling
And there's no one left around

Falling down
We're falling
And we live in what we believe
We fall in line
Thank God he held on to a seed

Do you remember the Once-ler?
Who saw the world that he designed
Looking from an empty factory
The nothing that he left behind
Finally, he seemed to notice
Things we found appaling
Crying as the final
Truffula was falling, falling, falling
Leave the world to heal tomorrow
Knowing we can always
Run to higher ground
Same day, different story
When we pay the now we borrow
Falling, falling, falling
And there's no one left around

Falling, falling, falling
'Til there's no one left around!
(Falling...)
