Spare me the rhetoric of which you speak
Of high hopes, progress, and barren streets.
Take your buildings, your towers, your stores.
Place them where the sun shines no more.
Walk away from the lush green forest that grows,
Give life a chance, so history knows
We live on an earth of life and love
We are grateful to the good Lord above.
Stand up, move away from complacency.
Take your place among a green society.
Now is our chance to help enhance
God’s earth to the best of our ability.
