Earth

A giant cloud up in the sky

The things she saw she hardly could spell

Honey, don't stay too long in the sun, said Mom

And Julia doesn't feel well

Waters are dying but they're still blue

Blue as they were when the grass hadn't gone

Picking flowers is something I've never done

Because of radiation

On the day

The day the earth stood still

It's getting dark

So move a little closer

Yesterday

The white powder fell

But the snow didn't melt in the sun

And the summer has gone

A whole new world has gone astray

People seem never to learn

Mistakes that are made steer us into

A corporate grave - genetic alteration

Night after night I keep dreaming

Burned out children won't play anymore

Blown away and the wind takes their ashes ashore

Their final destination

On the day

The day the earth stood still

It's getting dark

So move a little closer

Yesterday

The white powder fell

But the snow didn't melt in the sun

And the summer has gone
