We live in the land of plenty
But many things aren't plenty anymore
Like the water from our sink they say it's not safe to drink
You gotta go and buy it at the store
Now we're told there's a hole in the ozone
Look what's washing on the beach
And Lord, I believe from the heavens to the seas
We're bringing mother nature to her knees
So let's leave some blue up above us
Let's leave some green on the ground
It's only ours to borrow let's save some for tomorrow
Leave it and pass it on down
Well there's a change taking place way on the mountains
Acid rain is falling on the leaves
And down in Brazil the fires are burning still
How we gonna breathe without them trees?
So let's leave some blue up above us
Let's leave some green on the ground
It's only ours to borrow let's save some for tomorrow
Leave it and pass it on down
There's a place where I live called the Canyon
Where daddy taught me to swim
And that water it's so pure and I'm gonna make sure
Daddy's grandkids can swim there like him
Now we all oughta feel just a little bit guilty
When we look into the eyes of our kids
'Cause brothers it's a fact, if we take and don't put back
They'll have to pay for all we did
So let's leave some blue up above us
Let's leave some green on the ground
It's only ours to borrow let's save some for tomorrow
Leave it and pass it on down
So let's leave some blue up above us
Let's leave some green on the ground
It's only ours to borrow let's save some for tomorrow
Leave it and pass it on down
So let's leave some blue up above us
Let's leave some green on the ground
It's only ours to borrow let's save some for tomorrow
Leave it and pass it on down
So let's leave some blue up above us
Let's leave some green on the ground
It's only ours to borrow let's save some for tomorrow
Leave it and pass it on down
Leave it and pass it on down
