I've climbed up these mountains, I've swam in these shores
But you couldn't recognize them now
The trees have all been cut down
The water has all been turned brown
The big blue sky is one black cloud
Oh, hear what I say
We've got to rescue her for the future is here today
Oh, hear what I say
We've got to rescue the future for the future is here today
For children of tomorrow, there's nothing left but promises
Who would have thought there'd come this day?
When the world is tied to a train track
The train is coming down real fast
And people just look the other way
Oh, hear what I say
We've got to rescue her for the future is here today
Oh, hear what I say
We've got to rescue the future for the future is here today
These pirates all around us, they're raping mother nature
For money that says "In God We Trust"
But what will they do when they make it?
Where do they think they're gonna take it
When nothing's left on earth but dust?
Oh, hear what I say
We've got to rescue her for the future is here today
Oh, hear what I say
We've got to rescue the future for the future is here today
