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
