| We live in the land of plenty | |
| But many things aren't plenty anymore | |
| Like the water from our sink | |
| They say'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 on the beach | |
| And Lord, I believe, from the heavens to the seas | |
| We're bringing Mother Nature to her knees | |
| Chorus: | |
| So let's leave some blue up 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 | |
| Repeat chorus | |
| There's a place where I live called the Canyon | |
| Where Daddy taught me to swim | |
| And that water, it's so pure | |
| And I'm gonna make sure | |
| Daddy's grandkids can swim there like him | |
| Now we all oughta feel just a little bit guilty | |
| When we look into the eyes of our kids | |
| 'Cause brothers it's a fact, if we take and don't put back | |
| They'll have to pay for all we did | |
| Repeat chorus (4 times) | |
