The cry of the earth

The cry of the earth

How long will we use this earth as if we are the last generation
How long will we act as if the resources of earth are inexhaustible
How long will we go this way without to listen to the cry of the earth -
how long?

How long will we throw our dirt into the woods, into the sea
How long will we only have an economic point of view
How long will we go this way without to listen to the cry of the earth -
how long?

How long will we blow our waste gas into the air, the atmosphere
How long will we close our eyes, will we ignore the wounds of the earth How long will we go this way without to listen to the cry of the earth -
how long?

And what will we tell our children if they ask
Why there ain't no birds in the sky?
And what will we tell our children if they ask
Why there ain't no fish in the sea?
And what will we tell our children if they ask
Why there ain't no life on earth?

And what will we tell our children if they ask
Where all the flowers have gone?
And what will we tell our children if they ask
Where all the trees have gone?
And what will we give our children to eat
If the earth can't give anymore?

What for? We sacrifice this earth, sacrifice this life
What for? Is there really anything which justifies the prize?
What for? One day we will see that money we can't eat,
but then it's too late.

How long will we use this earth as if we are the last generation
How long will we act as if the resources of earth are inexhaustible
How long will we go this way without to listen to the cry of the earth -
how long?
How long?
