Lyric discussion by mattnhl26 

they are talking about how our society has become greedy. we have become obsessed with wanting more out of this planet, and ruining whatever we have (the environment) in the process: "tell me what are we waiting for"

we think god will repair everything, but it's our planet

instead of enjoying life, we go for more and more through "the wars we wage". we keep trying to build more and more, we'll run out of room and have to build sideways.

basically, instead of driving faster cars and building higher buildings, enjoy the planet we have instead of ruining it. life is beautiful as it is, don't wait for more
