Slowly, we found ourselves where we are today
I don't know why we didn't listen, why we didn't hear
Listen to the screams, or we'll all have to pay
Each of us now pays more with each passing year
Nothing stops the pain our planet feels
Can't stop what we have done to our future
Everyone left to hope that somehow she heals
