Fragments of another sunset,
Ashes of another dawn,
Drowned in time’s immortal ocean,
All too soon it could be gone
This old earth has seen a lot of living,
This old earth, the stories she could tell,
This old earth is finished with the giving
This old earth we’ve used so well
Now the playground stands deserted,
In the yellow afternoon
And the cotton-candy children,
Have all gone home too soon
And the tree of knowledge trembles,
For the fruit was ours before
Will we be like Eden’s lovers,
Driven from the garden door.
What will it take from Nature,
And what must it take from Man,
For the future generations
To save the sky, the sea, the land,
This old earth has seen a lot of living,
This old earth, the stories she could tell,
This old earth is finished with the giving
This old earth we’ve used so well
So ask your child what really matters,
Ask your friends what they will do,
Ask the leaders you’ve elected (ask them!)
But the answer lies with you,
This old earth has seen a lot of living,
This old earth, we’ve used from end to end,
This old earth is finished with the giving
This old earth could use a friend.
