All I Can Say is Hello 
(Five Billionth Child)

Well, hello, five billionth child,
Did you come in time?
Are you going to win
Or to be the last in the line?
Will you see the rain when you open your eyes
Or you see the snow?
I don't know.
All I can say is "hello"

Well, come on, five billionth child,
Is it not too late?
All the rules are well-known
But the games still can be played
Is it you who will help us to stay alive
Or you'll help us to blow?
I don't know.
All I can say is "hello"

Well, hello, five billionth child
Will you see the light?
All the words have been told
But the sky still isn't bright
Do the waters of time go too fast
Or they are going too slow?
I don't know.
All I can say is "hello"
