If the Earth Could Sing
In spring time
Grasses whisper,
Hushed voices murmur
As I walk by.
And when the wind blows
I can hear the earth sing
Songs of the ages gone.
They sing songs
Of wind and rain,
And a time when the
World was new.
When the wind blew across
The open plain, and
Buffalo roamed wild and free.
Songs which tell
Of the birth of men,
Before they did
Conquer the earth.
Before they did take the lives
Of millions, and watered
The earth with blood and tears.
The earth long ago
Grew weary of the
Doings of men.
A day may come when the
World returns to the way it once was,
And our cities return to forest,
Remembered only in song.
