Say a prayer for mother earth Hope that things don't get much worse Though I know you say you try I lift my head up to the sky As the sky fills up with smoke And our rivers slowly choke You know it's all in our hand It's the legacy of man You know I see the desert sand Drifting on our forest lands When tomorrows yesterday What will the people say As the sky fills up with smoke And our rivers slowly choke You know it's all in our hand It's the legacy of man Man, man, man, man When tomorrows yesterday What will the people say Though I know you say you try I lift my head up to the cry As the sky fills up with smoke And our rivers slowly choke You know it's all in our hand It's the legacy of man Man, man, man, man
