Oh Earth, why must you be so consumed?
By wars, pollution and strife
As if there's some grand sinister plan
That has darkened our life
We take and take and take again
Your giving spirit never ceases
But when will this age of destruction end?
Fading to nothingness
Our love for you has been replaced
With greed and selfishness
And slowly in the deep dark night
Your beauty looms less
Oh Earth, don't give in to despair
Your strength lies in our hands
Let us find a way to revive you
Along with this broken land
The stars we cannot see
Now hidden in this fog
The signs of destruction ever-clearer
It will endure, that's what we fear
The cracks in the ozone layer
The smog so thick we can't think
Our planet is slowly becoming a place
Where we ourselves can no longer face
Our negligence is life threatening
Our destruction its own cost
In this battle for a brighter future
Let us take back what we've lost
Though we can see the damage done
We still can find ways to heal
Let's work together to save this earth
From our own self-made hell.
