This day like others bloomed with a sigh
somehow it always brings a tear to my eye
To know that the air is not really clean
if only you could have seen what I’ve seen
The blue skies have all turned a soft shade of gray
but those in control tell us this is the way
For the progress of humanity
for the population today
for the future economy
we’ll all have to pay
Now wealth is the prize of the game I won’t play
still I’m asked to watch while the Planet they slay
Must be mass apathy or mental decay
morality seams to rot not hearing what I say
Where are the green hills in the land of my birth
where are the animals that once covered the Earth
Where are the fresh seas I once enjoyed
before the rape of my home as technology was employed
Have we really progressed with our ill gotten gain
stand in the forest….you can’t miss Her pain
She cries for our health
as we cut down the trees
But we’ve proved it to all
we can bring Her to Her knees
