I'm just a city boy But there's a small town side to me And I feel it closin' in Are we too blind to see That she's dying more each day And she's cryin' out to you and me
Chances come and when they're gone They curse the fools who wait too long
So let's take care of what we have Before the good we know goes bad And the beauty fades and just slips away The dirty air, they dying seas Will this be the world we leave To the wild and young I say, just look at what we've done And right before our yes Today's yesterday Could be tomorrow's goodbye
Here comes the rain And it might wash her tears away But it doesn't change a thing Like my brother before me All I can do is write this song And for her I sing
Chances come and when they're gone They carve in stone what we've done wrong
So let's take care of what we have Before the good we know goes bad And the beauty fades and slips away The dirty air, the dying seas Will this be the world we leave To the wild and young I say, just look at what we've done And right before our eyes Today's yesterday Could be tomorrow's goodbye
Do you ever think about The future or the past Do you ever wonder How long this world will last
Let's take care of what we have Before the good we know goes bad And the beauty fades, and just slips away The dirty air, the dying seas Will this be the world we leave To the wild and young I said, just look at what we've done And right before our eyes Yeah, it's right before our eyes
