"I cried today", said the earth to the sky
"These people are killing me, I don’t understand why
With their wars and pollution, their hatred and greed
They're destroying the world over things they don't need"
"I cried right with you", the sky did respond
"They're breaking my heart the way they carry on
We won't survive if they don’t change their way
That’s the reason why I cried today"
It hurts to think people don’t care about damage they leave behind
I can’t believe they’re not aware. Are they evil, or just blind?
"I cried today", said the sea to the land
"People just don’t care, or they don’t understand
They’ve got to do more than just hope and pray
So let the angels hear every voice cry today"
People please stop what you’re doing. It's time to make a stand
You don’t have the right to ruin all the air, water and land
"I cried today", said the father to the son
"Can you ever forgive us for the damage we've done?
We wasted our time, now you'll have to pay
That’s the reason why I cry today"
People we’re not gonna make it the way the we carry on
We act like we’re immortal, but God knows that’s wrong!
I cried today I cried today I cried today I cried today….
