lyrics

If I could see the earth from another planet
I would ask the humans to change their ways
Stop destroying her natural habitat
Before it is too late

If I could be the voice inside all human hearts
I'd remind them there's no backup plan
Action's overdue and underserved
By ourselves and our fellow man

This ain't sentimental
Earth is not a rental
There's nowhere else to run
When this planet's done

If I could turn back time I wouldn't waste a minute
Trying to buy stocks in the 80s
No it's so much more important here and now
Saving our future babies
