Hearing the Cry of the Planet

Raindrops falling from the sky

Volcano's Erupting

Ocean's flooding

What on earth is happening?

Everyday I get stepped on

No matter how hard I try

The pain never goes away

It takes years to heal

Please be gentle, I only have so much time

When I go no one will be safe

Do me a favor before I go

Go around the world…and plant new life

Don't be sad

Don't cry for me

There is nothing you could do

My time was drawing near

In the aftermath of all this

I will thank you and reward you

Let your children run free

On this land of green and blue

No I haven't gone yet

But I am with you everywhere you are

Take this seed as a gift

Plant it and I will heal

Thank you and years of happiness wait

My story is over

You have seen me for the last time

You have heard the cry of the planet
