People, look at us now
in the midst of confusion
we lost sight somehow
how, in the name of the planet
i just don't understand it
look at us now

people, open your eyes
how can everyone see it
and yet be so blind?
and still, still we go on pretending
nothing is wrong, we don't have that long
open your eyes

children, this is your song
in case someday you need one
long after i'm gone
please take care of the planet
like the way that god planned it
and pass it along

please, take care of the planet
that's the way that god planned it
pass it along, to your children
children, children.....
