A G
We live in the land of plenty
D A
But many things aren't plenty anymore
A G
Like the water from our sink, they say it’s not safe to drink
D A
You gotta go and buy it at the store
G A
Now, we're told there's a hole in the ozone
G A
Look whats washing on the beach
A G
And Lord, I believe from the heavens to the seas
D A
We're bringing Mother Nature to her knees
D
So let’s leave some blue up above us
Cadd9 G A
Let's leave some green on the ground
A G
It’s only ours to borrow, let’s save some for tomorrow
D A
Leave it and pass it on down
Well, there's a change taking place way on the mountains
Acid rain is falling on the leaves
And down in Brazil, the fires are burning still
How we gonna breathe without them trees
Chorus
The place where I lived called the canyon
Where my daddy taught me to swim
And that water is so pure and I'm-a gonna make sure
Daddy's grandkids can swim there like him
Now we all ought to feel just a little bit guilty
When we look into the eyes of our kids
Cause brothers, its a fact, if we take and don’t put back
They'll have to pay for all we did
Chorus
