Damaged Goods

We are killing our earth It's dying away In the future we'll reap What we sow today Our children's inheritance A dead empty shell Nothing left of the beauty That we know so well The green of the forest Is turning to brown As acre by acre The trees tumble down The fox and the badger The tiger the deer Will be hunted down Till they all disappear If our earth is threatened Then so are we With no planet to live on Where will we be? So what can we do? Surely you see The answer's in you And the answer's in me The damage we've done There's still time to repair If only we'd listen If only we'd care If we all work together We will find the right way So let's start this moment Let's start today
