Lyrics
Hope things get better for the earth and the trees
Expressing hope for improvement in environmental conditions for the earth and trees.
Save the air from our toxins and the water from a freeze
Calling for the protection of air from pollutants and water from freezing.
But don't sit back, everything won't be just fine
Encouraging action instead of passive optimism, acknowledging challenges.
Save from becoming deadly, our sweet sunshine
Highlighting the need to safeguard the sun from harmful impacts to prevent lethality.
But someday you'll understand
Anticipating a future understanding or realization.
