Nature's Pledge

When you look up in the sky way, way, up there.
What’s the first thing you notice as you start to stare?

Is it the color of the sky that I made so blue?
Or the feel of the wind that I blew on you.

I spoke through the thunder when you heard the boom.
I put you to sleep with the sound of a wind chimes tune.

I’m the one that did it all because I have the clout.
I put the vapors in the air to produce the clouds.

I made a tree grow out an old house way off track.
I made a flower push itself out the concrete through a crack.

Yet my highest beauties went to my lowest desires.
I had to blame it on all of your forest fires.

There’s only one solution so you’d better contemplate.
It’s your pollution that kills everything I create.
