If a tree fallsRain forestMist and mysteryTeeming greenGreen brain facing labotomyClimate control centre for the worldAncient cord of coexistenceHacked by parasitic greedhead scam From Sarawak to AmazonasCosta Rica to mangy B.C. hillsCortege 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 onCut and move onTake out treesTake out wildlife at a rate of species every single dayTake 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 worldWhere wild things have to go To disappearForever

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 livesAnd without it we are done.

Well we can keep our eyes upon the skiesAnd see how the time goes byOr we can find our fears among the tearsThat fall when the meadows cry, cry cry.

Well we can keep our eyes upon the skiesAnd see how the time goes byOr we can find our fears among the tearsThat 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 goneIt will be here when we're gone (clear blue skies)Clear blue skiesClear 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?

Mother Nature's Crying Mother Nature’s crying -She's just so sad and blue

Her tears just keep on falling -Look what we've put her through Time and time again we've seen the writing on the wall

Nothing can be sadder than to watch her tears fall

Question, What's going on in this world that we live in-Too much taking and not enough giving Mother nature keeps on crying -She's kind of sad cause the planet keeps dying

I'm telling ya... If I were the king of the world-I would make a better place for the boys and girls I would clean up, all of the pollution-If we work together we can find the solution

It's a perfect time, to make this world a better place-Kids from all around the world standing for the human race Europe to Japan, and on the Africa-In the middle east and back to America

Kids everywhere, trying to save the earth -Let's clean it up, but first things first Now's the time, we gotta do it quick-We gotta make a change, cause the planet's getting sick

(CHROUS)

Listen, We gotta save the earth, before it gets worse-Doing everything that I can, that's the plan I'm going to take a trip all around the nation -And spread the word, from station to station

Thinking about the situation, that's my mission -Say it through my song's, and maybe they will listen Mother Nature’s begging us to do this, to make a change to this-It's been 30 years I thought you knew this

The truth is, It’s getting hotter every year -And there's a great big hole up in the atmosphere And everybody's talking about the ozone-With more hurricanes, more hot days and the cyclones

I'm not worried, cause I know we can fix it-My generation comes with no gimmicks The plan we got now, I think it’s been failing-'Cause each and every day, the ice keeps melting

(CHROUS)

If you’re not making a difference then back on up-We got one last chance so I'm cleaning it up The planet is a beautiful place but it's wasted -Smog so thick that sometimes I can taste it

You ever seen a full moon shining on December-The way the soft snow falls down in the winter You ever seen a picture of the Himalayas-The deep blue seas and the beaches in Jamaica

You ever seen the sky on a dark summer nights-It's like a million stars my lil' brothers said it's tight These are the things and the days that I cherish-We gotta make a change so these days won't perish

Black Moon

Everyday I see a new cloud coming There's one more hole in space Everytime I walk across the street I feel the gas blowing in my face We never learn even deserts burn And all politicians lie They won't do nothin' 'Till we reach high noon Black Moon

Ain't nobody gonna walk on water When it falls like acid rain Nobody gonna fake you out Every poison stains We're all stuck here Right in the middle We never call the tune They won't do nothin' 'Till we reach high noon Black Moon

In the night see the red sky burning There's fire on the mountain Oil slicks on the sea Black Moon is rising How long will it be

Just take a look around the world The future never waits We're skating on the thin ice And we're in the hands of fate What we need's a little re-direction To find our blue lagoon You know it wouldn't come A moment to soon Black Moon's Ghostly images die

The 3 RsThree it's a magic number

Yes it is, it's a magic numberBecause two times three is sixAnd three times six is eighteen

And the eighteenth letter in the alphabet is RWe've got three R's we're going to talk about today

We've got to learn toReduce, Reuse, RecycleReduce, Reuse, RecycleReduce, Reuse, RecycleReduce, Reuse, Recycle

If you're going to the market to buy some juiceYou've got to bring your own bags and you learn to reduce your waste

And if your brother or your sister's got some cool clothesYou could try them on before you buy some more of those

Reuse, we've got to learn to reuseAnd if the first two R's don't work outAnd if you've got to make some trash

Don't throw it outRecycle, we've got to learn to recycle,

We've got to learn toReduce, Reuse, RecycleReduce, Reuse, RecycleReduce, Reuse, RecycleReduce, Reuse, Recycle

Because three it's a magic numberYes it is, it's a magic number

3, 3, 33, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 3633, 30, 27, 24, 21, 18, 15, 12, 9, 6, and

3, it's a magic number

Big Yellow Taxi

Τhey paved paradiseAnd put up a parking lot,With a pink hotel, a boutiqueAnd a swinging hot spot.Don't it always seem to go,That you don't know what you've gotTill it's gone—They paved paradiseAnd put up a parking lot!

They took all the trees,Put 'em in a tree museum;And they charged the peopleA dollar and a half just to see 'em.Don't it always seem to go,That you don't know what you've gotTill it's gone—They paved paradiseAnd put up a parking lot!

Hey farmer, farmer,Put away the DDT now;Give me spots on my apples,But leave me the birds and the bees—Please!

Don't it always seem to go,That you don't know what you've gotTill it's gone—They paved paradiseAnd put up a parking lot!

Late last night,I heard my screen door slam,and a big yellow taxiTook away my old man.Don't it always seem to go,That you don't know what you've gotTill it's gone—They paved paradiseAnd put up a parking lot!

I said don't it always seem to go,That you don't know what you've gotTill it's gone—They paved paradiseAnd put up a parking lot!

They paved paradiseAnd put up a parking lot . . .

They paved paradiseAnd put up a parking lot.

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!

One WorldPeople cutting down trees everywhereChopping up the Amazon, they don’t even careGot the chainsaws and the big blades buzzingIn 10 minutes time cutting down about a dozenThey do it for the dollar, sometimes it makes me wanna hollerAll my friends say yo Peppi why botherNo I’m not a tree-hugger, but its elementaryIf you cut down one, then you outta plant threeBut don’t do it for me, cause it’s just meEven better you should do it for ecologyTrees used to be all over the arthNow they cut them down cause they want what they’re worthNo I’m not a profit, but people let me share itTurn up the volume so that you can hear itAnd if you feel what I’m feelingPut up the peace sign, and throw your hands to the ceiling

Oh Mother Earth lyrics

Oh, Mother Earth,With your fields of greenOnce more laid downby the hungry handHow long can yougive and not receiveAnd feed this worldruled by greedAnd feed this worldruled by greed.

Oh, ball of fireIn the summer skyYour healing light,your parade of daysAre they betrayedby the men of powerWho hold this worldin their changing handsThey hold the worldin their changing hands.

Oh, freedom landCan you let this goDown to the streetswhere the numbers growRespect Mother Earthand her giving waysOr trade awayour children's daysOr trade awayour children's days.

Respect Mother Earthand her giving waysOr trade awayour children's days.

Don't Go Near the Water

Don't go near the water...Don't you think it's sad,What's happened to the water?Our water's goin' bad.

Oceans, rivers, lakes and streamsHave all been touched by man.The poison floatin' out to seaNow threatens life on land.

Don't go near the water...Ain't it sad,What's happened to the water?It's going bad.

Don't go near the water;Don't go near the water...

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 waterTo do it any wrong;To be cool with the waterIs the message of this song.

Let's all help the water—Right away!Do what we can and ought to—Let's start today.

Planet Earth is slowing downOverseas, undergroundWherever you look aroundLord, take me by the handlead me through these desert sandsTo the shores of a promised land.

You make me start when you look into my heartAnd see me for who I really am.If you can't change the world. Change yourself.If you can't change the world. Change yourself.

I didn't care if the sun didn't shine& the rain didn't fall from the skyI just cared about myselfFrom this world to the nextAnd from the next back to this.By our actions we are bound.We're running out of loverunning out of haterunning out of space for the human race.Planet Earth is slowing down.

You make me cry when you look into my eyes.And see me for who I really am.If you can't change the world. Change yourself.If you can't change the world. Change yourself.And if you can't change yourself....change the world.

I'm in love with the planet I'm standing onI can't stopI can't stop thinking of….

All the people I've ever lovedAll the people I have lostAll the people I'll never knowAll the feelings I've never shown.The world's too big. And life's too short.To be alone...To be alone.Birds and butterfliesRivers and mountains she createsBut you'll never knowThe next move she'll makeYou can tryBut it is useless to ask whyCannot control herShe goes her own way

She rules until the end of timeShe gives and she takesShe rules until the end of timeShe goes her own way

With every breathAnd all the choices that we makeWe are only passing through on her wayI find my strengthBelieving that your soul lives onUntil the end of timeI'll carry it with me

Once you will know my dearYou don't have to fearA new beginning always starts at the endUntil the end of timeShe goes her own way

Lonely planet

The rape of the world

Mother of us allPlace of our birthHow can we stand asideAnd watch the rape of the world

This the beginning of the endThis the most heinous of crimesThis the deadliest of sinsThe greatest violation of all time

Mother of us allPlace of our birthWe all are witnessTo the rape of the world

You've seen her stripped minedYou've heard of bombs exploded undergroundYou know the sun shinesHotter than ever before

Mother of us allPlace of our birthWe all are witnessTo the rape of the world

Some claim to have crowned herA queenWith cities of concrete and steel

But there is no glory no honorIn what resultsFrom the rape of the world

Mother of us allPlace of our birthWe all are witnessTo the rape of the world

She has been clear-cutShe has been dumped onShe has been poisoned and beaten upAnd we have been witnessTo the rape of the world

Mother of us allPlace of our birthHow can we stand asideAnd watch the rape of the world

If you look you'll see it with your own eyesIf you listen you will hear her criesIf you care you will stand and testifyAnd stop the rape of the world

Stop the rape of the worldMother of us all...

Mother Earth Birds and butterflies

Rivers and mountains she createsBut you'll never know

The next move she'll makeYou can try

But it is useless to ask whyCannot control her

She goes her own way

She rules until the end of timeShe gives and she takes

She rules until the end of timeShe goes her own way

With every breathAnd all the choices that we make

We are only passing through on her wayI find my strength

Believing that your soul lives onUntil the end of timeI'll carry it with me

Once you will know my dearYou don't have to fear

A new beginning always starts at the endUntil the end of time

She goes her own way

Μπες στο κλίμα

Ποια υπερθέρμανση γεννάειΈνα τέρας που ξυπνάειΘα μας πνίξει θα μας φάειΜπες στο κλίμα!

Ποια πλημμύρα μας τραβάειΣε ένα ηφαίστειο που ξεσπάει Δες χιονίζει μήνα ΜάηΜπες στο κλίμα!

Ξύπνα τη μνήμη σουΞέχνα τη φήμη σουΠαρ' την ευθύνη σου Γι αυτή τη Γη που βουλιάζειΣκέψου τα μέρη σου Πες το στο ταίρι σουΕίναι στο χέρι σουΈνα παιδί σου φωνάζει Δείξε μου πόσο σε νοιάζειΜπες στο κλίμα!

Κάθε μέρα που περνάειΣαν αρρώστια προχωράειΆλλο αστείο δε χωράει Μπες στο κλίμα!

Ποιος στα αλήθεια κυβερνάειΠοιος θυμάται ποιος ξεχνάειΓια ποιο μέλλον συζητάει Μπες στο κλίμα!

Every day that passeslike disease is spreadingNo more pretendingEnter the climate*

Who really governs?Who thinks, who forgets?For what future does he talk about?Enter the climate*
