This is a song for the people who worry
That tomorrow everyone will be dead
This is a song for the dead of tomorrow
Buried in a stone desert
Leave us a flower and the grass that's still green
Leave us a tree and the view of the sea
Forget for once how much money a million is
The world that must last an eternity
You break and you chop and you drill through the mountains
You level every hill
Today's giants seem like dwarfs tomorrow
Progress destroys what stood yesterday
Leave us a flower and some grass that is still green
Leave us a tree and the view of the sea
Forget for once how much money a million is
The world that must last an eternity
The fish in the seas, poisoned to death
The sand on the beaches, polluted by fuel oil
And you, spoiled by the tankers and checkbook
You don't even know where the seagull nested
Leave us a flower and some grass that is still green
Leave us a tree and the view of the sea
Forget for once how much money a million is
The world that must last an eternity
And so life will disappear tomorrow
Defeated by steel and reinforced concrete
The moon will then shine coldly on your nightmare
No one still knows how the end began
Leave us a flower and some grass that is still green
Leave us a tree and the view of the sea
Forget for once how much money a million is
