In this new generation We are worried by climate change All the ice caps are melting And the weather’s acting strange A cause of this consternation The Devil is in our fossil fuels To gain salvation We are blindly changing the rules.
We know that over the ages There have been cycles before Long before man was a factor Nature managed the score It wasn’t rocket science The imbalance to relieve It was far more simple The secret lies in the trees.
So what is the problem If you chose to believe Too many people on the planet Chopping down all the trees.
(brief instrumental interlude)
They are Nature’s great recyclers Using the power of the Sun Maintaining the climate balance Long before mankind begun When we cut down all the forests What a wicked web we weave For they suck up all the carbon And replace the air we breathe
It might not be the solution But I’m sure over time you’ll see So instead of protesting Go out and plant a tree
(brief instrumental interlude)
If managed properly With use of new technology Let’s keep the home fires burning Don’t succumb to ideology Let’s manage our resources Keep planting all the trees Soak up all the carbon Refresh the air, the air we breathe.
So for future generations The future to bequeath While building solar panels Go out and plant more trees
Should you not want to do it And if not for humanity Don’t let me lead you to it For God’s sake, plant a tree.
