The Planet

Hard times behind us
Hard times ahead
It's a miracle we're still living
It's a wonder we ain't dead
I read it in the paper
Heard it on the news
This old world's in trouble
People, we're all chased by the blues.

The planet still keeps turning
Draws a circle 'round the sun
Seasons come and seasons go
What's been done
Can't be made undone.

Mother earth is bleeding
She got scars upon her face
She gave us what we needed
We left her in disgrace
Tore away her skin
Dug down into her soul
Mister Greed keeps digging.

He's digging far too low.

The planet still keeps turning
Draws a circle 'round the sun
Seasons come and seasons go
What's been done
Can't be made undone.

Fires of hate are burning
They're burning everywhere
Man mistreats his fellow-men
We turn our head, don't seem to care
But one day before long
We got to change our ways
Start living like we're meant to
Rainbow race.

The planet still keeps turning
Draws a cïrcle 'round the sun
Seasons come and seasons go
What's been done
Can't be made undone.
