Far from the eyes of stupid grinning man In endless shades of green the ancient forest stands Where water mingles with the earth beneath the tangled sky Kissed by the sun's deep fire the mighty trees grow high They take the poison air we breathe and make it clean again Sometimes it seems like mother nature is our only friend But off in the distance I can hear the engines howl The scream of the bulldozer the tractor's ugly growl Ripping great bloody gouges in our mother's flesh Leaving only gaping scars where she once nursed us at her breast And now in her hour of darkness trying to ease the pain Turns her face up to the sky to be washed with acid rain The earth is quiet now waiting for the storm Some have taken shelter they already have been warned But most of us must wait without to meet our awful fate Because for this poor planet the warning came too late And now as we walk this barren land beneath a poison sky Fill the aching universe with our final cry
