If a tree falls Rain forest Mist and mystery Teeming green Green brain facing labotomy Climate control centre for the world Ancient cord of coexistence Hacked by parasitic greedhead scam From Sarawak to Amazonas Costa Rica to mangy B.C. hills Cortege rhythm of falling timber. What kind of currency grows in these new deserts, These brand new flood plains? If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear? If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear? Anybody hear the forest fall? Cut and move on Cut and move on Take out trees Take out wildlife at a rate of species every single day Take out people who've lived with this for 100,000 years - Inject a billion burgers worth of beef - Grain eaters - methane dispensers. Through thinning ozone, Waves fall on wrinkled earth Gravity, light, ancient refuse of stars, Speak of a drowning But this, this is something other. Busy monster eats dark holes in the spirit world Where wild things have to go To disappear Forever If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear? Anybody hear the forest fall? Clear blue skies, not too much to ask for, They were here before we came, Will they be here when we're gone? Clean water, not too much to hope for, It's the basis of our lives And without it we are done. Well we can keep our eyes upon the skies And see how the time goes by Or we can find our fears among the tears That fall when the meadows cry, cry cry. Well we can keep our eyes upon the skies And see how the time goes by Or we can find our fears among the tears That fall when the meadow cries. Clear ideas, much too much to think of. We need all the help we can get (And I know) we need all the time that we've got (And I know) we need all the love we can give, It will be here when we're gone (clear blue skies) It will be here when we're gone It will be here when we're gone (clear blue skies) Clear blue skies Clear blue skies (clear blue skies). Clear blue skies (clear blue skies).

Where do the children play? Well I think it's fine, building jumbo planes. Or taking a ride on a cosmic train. Switch on summer from a slot machine. Get what you want to if you want, 'cause you can get anything. I know we've come a long way, We're changing day to day, But tell me, where do the children play? Well you roll on roads over fresh green grass. For your lorryloads pumping petrol gas. And you make them long, and you make them tough. But they just go on and on, and it seems you can't get off. Oh, I know we've come a long way, We're changing day to day, But tell me, where do the children play? When you crack the sky, scrapers fill the air. Will you keep on building higher 'til there's no more room up there? Will you make us laugh, will you make us cry? Will you tell us when to live, will you tell us when to die? I know we've come a long way, We're changing day to day, But tell me, where do the children play?

Death of Mother Nature Suite Every day she gets a little weaker; The beauty she once knew has come and gone; We've murdered all her sons and all her daughters; The blood is on your hands, the time has come... And now she's gonna die! We've strangled all her trees and starved her creatures; There's poison in the sea and in the air; But worst of all, we've learned to live without her; We've lost the very meaning of our lives... And now she's gonna die! Once she ruled the earth with love and wisdom; But we were much too smart to live her way; With greed and lust we tried to rise above her; The ignorance of man will reach an end... 'Cause now we're gonna die!

Oh Mother Earth lyrics Oh, Mother Earth, With your fields of green Once more laid down by the hungry hand How long can you give and not receive And feed this world ruled by greed And feed this world ruled by greed. Oh, ball of fire In the summer sky Your healing light, your parade of days Are they betrayed by the men of power Who hold this world in their changing hands They hold the world in their changing hands. Oh, freedom land Can you let this go Down to the streets where the numbers grow Respect Mother Earth and her giving ways Or trade away our children's days Or trade away our children's days. Respect Mother Earth and her giving ways Or trade away our children's days.

Toothpaste and soap will make our oceans a bubble bath, So let's avoid an ecological aftermath. Beginning with me, Beginning with you... Don't go near the water To do it any wrong; To be cool with the water Is the message of this song. Let's all help the water Right away! Do what we can and ought to Let's start today.
