|
I'm just a city boy |
|
But there's a small town side to me |
|
And I feel it closin' in |
|
Are we too blind to see |
|
That she's dyin' more each day |
|
And she's cryin' out to you and me |
|
Chances come and when they're gone |
|
They curse the fool who waits too long |
|
So let's take care of what we have |
|
Before the good we know goes bad |
|
And the beauty fades and just slips away |
|
The dirty air, the dyin' seas |
|
Will this be the world we leave to the wild and young |
|
I say, "Just look at what we've done" |
|
And right before our eyes |
|
Today's yesterday could be tomorrow's goodbye |
|
Here comes the rain |
|
It might wash her tears away |
|
But it doesn't change a thing |
|
Like my brother before me |
|
All I can do is write this song |
|
And for her |
|
I singChances come and when they're gone |
|
They carve in stone what we've done wrong |
|
So let's take care of what we have |
|
Before the good we know goes bad |
|
And the beauty fades and just slips away |
|
The dirty air, the dyin' seas |
|
Will this be the world we leave to the wild and young |
|
I say, "Just look at what we've done" |
|
And right before our eyes |
|
Today's yesterday could be tomorrow's goodbye |
|
Do you ever think about |
|
The future or the past? |
|
Do you ever wonder |
|
How long this world will last? |
|
So let's take care of what we have |
|
Before the good we know goes bad |
|
And the beauty fades and just slips away |
|
The dirty air, the dyin' seas |
|
Will this be the world we leave to the wild and young |
|
I said, "Just look at what we've done" |
|
And right before our eyes |
|
Yeah, it's right before our eyes |
|
Today's yesterday could be tomorrow's goodbye |
