Tell me again, I need to know
"The future of life on Earth depends on our ability to see the sacred where others see only the common."- Quote by John Denver

on the theme of WHOSE GARDEN WAS THIS?
OCTOBER 1970, JOHN DENVER ALBUM
--------------------------------------
This garden was once lovely
The forest had tall trees
The meadows were opulent green
The oceans were true blue
This garden was once lovely
They called it mother earth
She smelled of rain in air
Her breath soft terpene
Rivers now don’t flow freely
Soil is now not brown rich
Smoke now chases away blues
Hills now don’t stand still
This garden was once lovely
Mother Earth was once healthy
Future shall forget the past
The present is too brittle to be true
