Hope things get better for the earth and the trees   Save the air from our toxins and the water from a freeze   But don't sit back, everything won't be just fine   Save from becoming deadly, our sweet sunshine      But someday you'll understand   That it's not just our land   Pass it on to our children's hands   Someday you'll understand      The air we breathe and the water that we drink   Does the burning Bush ever stop to think   About the future, about the past   He'll be dead in 20 years but will our infants last      But someday you'll understand   That it's not just our land   Pass it on to our children's hands   Someday you'll understand      Go to the mountains and lie on the grass   Fall asleep in the sunshine, let the sweet time pass   Then maybe you'll understand what we're trying to save   We wanna leave our kids a beautiful world, not dig their graves      But someday you'll understand   That it's not just our land   Pass it on to our children's hands   Someday you'll understand      Hope things get better for the earth and the trees   Save the air from our toxins and the water from a freeze   Then maybe you'll understand what we're trying to save   We wanna leave our kids a beautiful world, not dig their graves      But someday you'll understand   That it's not just our land   Pass it on to our children's hands   Someday you'll understand      Green trees and white sand   Pass them on to our children's hands   Someday you'll understand   Someday you'll understand
