People take a look around, all the leaves are turnin' brown   I never saw the ground so cracked and dry   Down the road a little ways the forest has been set ablaze   See the smoke risin' in the sky      People don't understand, some folks never give a damn   Soon they're gonna find it's in bigger hands than yours and mine      Rains came and brought the flood, the rivers have all turned to mud   Everything in town has washed away   Folks stood on the hill and cried, thankful just to be alive   Most of them with nothin' left to save      People don't understand, some folks never give a damn   Soon we're gonna find it's in bigger hands than yours and mine      The truth remains a mystery, it's been that way through history   It seems that we could find a safe solution   Poison's buried underground, toxins seep out all around   Got to put an end to this pollution      People don't you understand? Some folks never give a damn   Soon they're gonna find it's in bigger hands than yours and mine   Soon we're gonna find it's in bigger hands than yours and mine      Open your heart and soul to the Creator, be thankful for everyday   Take from the earth only what is needed and nothin' more
