People, look at us now



In the midst of confusion



We lost sight somehow



How, in the name of the planet



I just don't understand it



Look at us now







People, open your eyes



How can everyone see it



And yet be so blind?



And still, still we go on pretending



Nothing is wrong, we don't have that long



Open your eyes







Children, this is your song



In case someday you need one



Long after I'm gone



Please take care of the planet



Like the way that God planned it



And pass it along







Please, take care of the planet



That's the way that God planned it



Pass it along, to your children



Children, children.....
