I think I just heard Mother Nature cry,

Or was it one more broken, falling tree?

You’d think we’d learn as time goes speeding by.

They tell us there’s a big hole in the sky,

We won’t believe in something we can’t see,

I think I just heard Mother Nature cry.

Coal-fired chimneys reaching up so high,

Even though the solar power’s free,

You’d think we’d learn as time goes speeding by.

We develop rocket ships that fly,

But still can’t stop pollution of the sea,

I think I just heard Mother Nature cry.

Headlines: One more species set to die,

Keep it quiet…use diplomacy,

You’d think we’d learn as time goes speeding by.

Worry on the future? Pass it by!

How can preservation start with me?

I think I just heard Mother Nature cry.

You’d think we’d learn as time goes speeding by.
