Lyrics
Birds plunge from the sky, why don’t we care?
Trees crash from on high, how do we dare?
Then, someday we’ll see
all things must take every seed that the others have sown
After the beauty is gone
our children will know that we all should have truly cared

Lakes choke from the crude, why don’t we fear?
Air thick from the fumes, why can’t we hear?
Soon, someday we’ll know
all life connects to all else, in this old great big world
After the beauty is gone
our children will know that we all should have truly cared

Dear earth, look at all we’ve done to our lands
Our birth, is resting right in our hands

After the beauty is gone
the future will know that we all should have truly cared

Fields scarred from misuse, why don’t we care?
Dunes warped from abuse, how can we bear?
Soon, someday we’ll find, all life must share every drop, every breath, every thing
After the beauty is gone
our children will know that we all should have truly cared
