Once there were trees and a river |
|
Once there was grass where you stand |
|
Once there were songs |
|
About rights instead of wrongs |
|
Once was the time of man |
|
We heard the humming like thunder |
|
We saw the cloud rise at dawn |
|
Then came the rain |
|
As we watched and prayed in vain |
|
Then all was still |
|
All was gone |
|
Once there were trees and a river |
|
Once there was grass where you stand |
|
Once there were songs |
|
About rights instead of wrongs |
|
Once was the time of man |
|
Grass doesn't grow on the hillside |
|
Trees shrink and die in the sun |
|
No place to hide my little baby's eyes |
|
From the damage the dead have done |
|
Once there were trees and a river |
|
Once there was grass where you stand |
|
Once there were songs |
|
About rights instead of wrongs |
|
Once was the time of man |
|
They didn't know in the old time |
|
The earth and the seas were to share |
|
They didn't know in the old time |
|
Or care |
|
Once there were trees and a river |
|
Once there was grass where you stand |
|
Once there were songs |
|
About rights instead of wrongs |
|
Once was the time of man |
|
Once was the time of man |
|
Once was the time of man |
