I've been walking the burnt out forest That was once the garden of my dreams
When I believed in a better world
Than one where children drink from polluted streams
Where we were going to grow peace
And cultivate love for everyone
And tend the sick and invalid
With the dignity that they deserve
And be free.to speak our minds
Letting others do the same
Without the need to isolate and divide
For what that will politically gain
So I'm going to walk away for now.
From the decimation that I see
But first I will take a sec to plant a seed
And say a prayer for better days while down here on my knee !

From the decimation that I see
But first I will take a sec to plant a seed
And say a prayer for better days while down here on my knee !
