Do We Love Mother Earth... Enough?

DO WE LOVE MOTHER EARTH... ENOUGH?

Dreaming of a peaceful world, where all things are clean
Only one world we have, let’s keep it fresh and green

Wake up today, with the sun shining brightly
Everything’s the same, nothing changes for me

Looking out the window, I watch the cars passing by
Over and over, the black smoke makes me want to cry
Vehicles releasing gas, deadly to every person and thing around
Enough! I want to have the courage to stand my ground

Maybe, I can tell them, shout it to their ears
Openly express all my doubts and lingering fears
They can’t hear our Mother’s cry, ignore her cascading tears
Hell, not heaven on Earth; when will we realize and face
Every mistake we’ve made, all the errors in our ways
Right from wrong, no one can distinguish nowadays

Everything’s the same, for me, nothing ever changes
Air and water polluted, ozone depleting—as our planet ages
Relieve me of the painful, ‘nature-is-slowly-dying’ images
The people have gone too far—they’ll never learn, it’s sad but true
However, a voice inside me still believes there’s something we can do
