Listen Close
I wonder if the trees will cry
When their leaves begin to die
I wonder if they feel the pain
As the wind comes blowing by
I wonder if the flowers smile
When the sun begins to stare
I wonder if the raindrops race
To the puddle that they share
I wonder if the rainbow's colors
Are envious of their neighbor
Or do they talk and say hello
As their colors begin to labor
I wonder if the mountains high
Are striving to be the tallest
Or do they share that glorious view
From the biggest to the smallest
I wonder if the earth itself
Has warned us of its doom
Has it revealed in vain to man
Of its impending gloom
I wonder if we'll listen close
Could we hear our planet cry
Or will we ignore its call for help
And watch it slowly die
