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
