|
We live in the land of plenty
|
But many things aren't plenty anymore
|
Like the water from our sink
|
They say's not safe to drink
|
You gotta go and buy it at the store
|
Now we're told there's a hole in the ozone
|
Look what's washing on the beach
|
And Lord, I believe, from the heavens to the seas
|
We're bringing Mother Nature to her knees
|
|
Chorus:
|
So let's leave some blue up above us
|
Let's leave some green on the ground
|
It's only ours to borrow, let's save some for tomorrow
|
Leave it and pass it on down
|
|
Well there's a change taking place way on the mountains
|
Acid rain is falling on the leaves
|
And down in Brazil, the fires are burning still
|
How we gonna breathe without them trees
|
|
Repeat chorus
|
|
There's a place where I live called the Canyon
|
Where Daddy taught me to swim
|
And that water, it's so pure
|
And I'm gonna make sure
|
Daddy's grandkids can swim there like him
|
|
Now we all oughta feel just a little bit guilty
|
When we look into the eyes of our kids
|
'Cause brothers it's a fact, if we take and don't put back
|
They'll have to pay for all we did
|
|
Repeat chorus (4 times)
|
