letra de the great green earth - fred small

[chorus]
for the great green earth
the ancient seas of our birth
the patient trees that give us breath
for the people of every land
from the ganges to the rio grande
we shall defend the great green earth

[verse 1]
out of the fire and the molten stone
came the water mother ocean home
’til we walked masters of the land
brought the fire under our command
thought the river would never go slack
thought the spring would always come back
blew our life savings for a handful of change
steal the future from our children call it capital gains

[chorus]
not for the great green earth
the ancient seas of our birth
the patient trees that give us breath
for the people of every land
from the ganges to the rio grande
we shall defend the great green earth
[verse 2]
there’s a hole in the sky so we put on a hat
it’s getting hot in here turn down the thermostat
drive to the office in a four by four
gotta hustle gotta muscle gotta buy more more more
pave another farm put a walmart in
drop a bottle in the curbside bin
what kind of world do we leave our kids
will they say well done or ask what we did

[verse 3]
you talk about your private property
we’re talking ’bout the right to live and breathe
you say everyone and everything has its price
well what’s the dollar value of a human life
you poison the well our grandchildren will drink
do you think about them do you even think
this land is loaned to us in trust
when you threaten the earth you’re gonna reckon with us
[chorus]
and the great green earth
the ancient seas of our birth
the patient trees that give us breath
for the people of every land
from the ganges to the rio grande
we shall defend the great green
we shall defend the great green
we shall defend the great green earth
