Testo What Happened To The Trees?

What happened to the trees The leaves are all dead Roots in parched ground dried and unfed What happened to the trees Just skeletons of the past Once they were green, the jungles large and vast What happened to the lakes The water's still, a murky brown An empty can floating through a pool of toxic waste What happened to the lakes The streams which fed them have since gone dry Temperature's rising, the lake-beds now are fried Floating through the atmosphere like a wounded bird in flight Wondering what has happened to our world As far as the eye can see, there is no sign of life A stark and barren landscape -- is this just a dream What happened to the sky The orange haze brings a tear to my eye A sea of cars fills the air with monoxides What happened to the sky Rainfall of acid from clouds of pain The temperature's rising, I think I'm going insane What happened to the land Industrial farming was the ultimate plan No more grain but the tractor still remains What happened to the land Overploughed and underplanned Overproduction has turned the earth to sand Floating through the atmosphere... I awake in sweat, letting out a scream Realising my vision was only a dream Crying through the night as I thoguht about our world Because this dream someday can become a reality Because this dream someday can become a reality Because this dream someday can become a reality Because this dream someday can become a reality
