  3. If a tree falls Rain 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).

  4. 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?

  5. 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

  6. 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

  8. Big Yellow Taxi Τhey paved paradise And 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!

  9. 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!

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. Lonely planet 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.

  19. Μπες στο κλίμα (*) “Enter the climate” is a word playing in greek language. It means “Get the spirit of the age”: the world “climate” has two meanings in greek: both climate and spirit of the age.A song that urges people to become aware and more active to fight the climatic changes. It was written for this purpose and for economical support of WWF. 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! Translation:Learn which superheat is bearinga rising monsterthat will suffocate and eat usEnter the climate*Learn which flood is sweeping us awayto a volcano ready to detonateLook! It's snowing on MayEnter the climate*Wake your memoryForget your fameTake your responsibilityFor this Earth that is sinkingThink of your countryTell it to your partnerIt’s in your handsA child is shouting at youShow me how you care aboutEnter the climate*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*
