Our Wounded Earth

Wounded Earth
Can't tell if it is night or day
The beautiful bright skies ran away
Oxygen dying for useless things
Just like you if we don't spread our wings
What's the point of money's value?
If the trees you're chopping will kill you
The water no longer pristine
The way we treat it is just obscene
Imagine the world's next generation
Them seeing their future in desperation
What if they follow in our footsteps
And go deeper into the depths
How do we, how can we fix this mess?
It's not rocket science, but so much less
It's not that hard to pick up the pieces
If we can fix a jigsaw, we can smooth out the creases
So, let’s focus on what we can become
And put right of what we have done.
