Searing below me My only child The only one Will no one help Your might all but spent Flowers of the field Grey and somehow older A freshness subdued
I'll always wonder If I could have changed And maybe take back My one true friend
For pity's sake Don't hurt my earthen child My only child Greying cities and concrete skin Torn between life Cover the earth with needless filth I gave to you without question You took more without asking
Colours fading in the sun I gave to you with all I know I was not there
I'll always know I could have helped I could have saved My one true friends
For pity's sake Don't hurt my earthen child My only child Greying cities And concrete skin Sallow faces
