Oasis In the Sand
Oasis in the Sand
Take time to sit and ponder why tomorrow never comes
Why birds and bees, flowers and trees are dying, one by one.
To wonder in amazement at the beauty of the earth
Then sigh in realisation at what little it’s all worth
As man destroys our planet every day throughout the year
His greed consuming any chance of us remaining here
Like a ticking time bomb the countdown has begun
To complete annihilation, all earth’s treasures will be gone
Take time to sit and ponder why tomorrow may not come
To ask yourself the question ‘Can anything be done?’
To save and to protect what God gave us as our home
To turn back time and to undo the damage caused by man
To mend and patch and plaster in every way we can
To stop us all from losing our Oasis in the Sand.
