THROUGH THIS EYE

THROUGH THIS EYE

There is this world so blue

Looking me in the eye

Such a wonderful hue

This world for you

And I

Turning and yearning

For a better life

Away from the strife

That life has inflicted upon this earth

THROUGH THIS EYE

The world is looking back

At me

Showing me

All the wrong

And all that has gone wrong

From century to century

What have I done?

Oh my world!!!!

THROUGH THIS EYE

Just you and I

The damage that’s been done

Land and country

Flooded

Land and country

Loaded

Populated

Where is the countryside’s?

Oh my world

What have we done?

What have I done?

No time and space

The things that have been erased

Animals no longer existed

Extinct

Gone but I will not forget

A great regret

What have I done to you?

Mother Earth?

What can I do?

I see such pain

And suffering

This is all too much to bear

I cannot close my eyes to all this

There are tears in this eye

I can no longer deny

Or live a lie

I am no longer asking why

This Mother Earth

Is part of me

For you and I

Whether we see eye to eye

Or not

I am one that will not let it begotten

From this day and the way forward

There is going to be a change

A change for a better

Mother Earth
