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.....
