We live in the land of plenty
But many things aren't plenty anymore
Like the water from our sink
They say it's not safe to drink
You gotta go and buy it at the store
Now we're told there's a hole in the ozone
Look what's washing up on the beach
And, Lord, I believe, from the heavens to the seas
We're bringing mother nature to her knees
So let's leave some blue above us
Let's leave some green on the ground
It's only ours to borrow, let's save some for tomorrow
Leave it and pass it on down
Well there's a change taking place way on the mountains
Acid rain is falling on the leaves
And down in Brazil, the fires are burning still
How we gonna breathe without them trees
So let's leave some blue above us
Let's leave some green on the ground
It's only ours to borrow, let's save some for tomorrow
Leave it and pass it on down
There's a place where I lived call the canyon
Where daddy taught me to swim
And that water, it's so pure
I'm gonna make sure
Daddy's grandki
