Night LIght Lyrics
Out of reach, lying on a beach near a galaxy elsewhere
Combing through sands with two empty hands here
As long as more seeds sprout and then grow, so will all our love
And if the climate changes, then we'll also do so
Long lost friends after the road ahead bends again
You're still with me in June and July on warm starlit nights, my friends
Skipping stones on the lake of mirrored space
And landscapes miles in the distance
And we're all a bit stoned, miles away
And as long as both of the poles stay frozen
Flow the river of our blood
'Cause as the time changes so will the path we've all chosen
And over rippling mountains, afternoon thunderstorms form
Later all of the sky will clear up
Stars will appear and they'll make night light
Don't get sucked into the empty
Or forever be where you are too far out of reach
I am a working man, I've lived a long day using my hands
My Dad is a working man, he's lived a long life providing for his family
And my Mom was a working woman, she worked her hands to the bone
To the grave to meet our ends
And as long as more seeds sprout and then grow
Combing through sands with two empty hands here
As long as more seeds sprout and then grow, so will all our love
And if the climate changes, then we'll also do so
Long lost friends after the road ahead bends again
You're still with me in June and July on warm starlit nights, my friends
Skipping stones on the lake of mirrored space
And landscapes miles in the distance
And we're all a bit stoned, miles away
And as long as both of the poles stay frozen
Flow the river of our blood
'Cause as the time changes so will the path we've all chosen
And over rippling mountains, afternoon thunderstorms form
Later all of the sky will clear up
Stars will appear and they'll make night light
Don't get sucked into the empty
Or forever be where you are too far out of reach
I am a working man, I've lived a long day using my hands
My Dad is a working man, he's lived a long life providing for his family
And my Mom was a working woman, she worked her hands to the bone
To the grave to meet our ends
And as long as more seeds sprout and then grow

This is a really beautiful song, and the ending is exceptional great,
While the lyrics mention climate change several times, I think the song is more about focusing on one's family in the face of our current political and environmental problems and challenges.
"Don't get sucked into the empty Or forever be where you are too far out of reach",
I take this to mean the lyricist recommends to focus on your life and family instead of these larger problems, because humanity adapts to it's environment over time.
As long as we keep procreating, taking care of, and providing for our families, humanity will survive and continue.
