Lyrics

You throw it away. You don’t even care about what it means.
As if there’s time to spare and I never thought
that man could be so cold and ignorant.
It’s all starting to unfold before our eyes.
This apathy is taking from our lives.

I close my eyes but I can still see right through the lies of all the powers that be.
They talk of life, in a greener world but the green they mean
is the green that feeds their greed.
They say we’re free.
Free to take the punishment we breed.

I try so hard to understand
Why all this pain was caused by man.
I would like to put it in their minds
We haven’t got a lot of time
to change our selfish ways.

Lost dreams and broken promises that I once believed.
I thought we could make it work.
Now I see it takes more than hope and
I don’t know if we’ll ever see the light before our eyes
She’s crying out for us to sympathize

Humankind has made its mark upon the world
It’s marked for death but it’s a sentence undeserved
I don’t know if we’ll all survive but if I do,
You know that I’ll sympathize with her, Mother Earth.
This debt we owe is far beyond our worth.

I try so hard to understand
Why all this pain was caused by man.
I would like to put it in their minds
We haven’t got a lot of time
to change our selfish ways.
