By one tree at a time
a forest is felled.
The earth cries out:
who will bend an ear?

A city enlarges,
one more lake dries up.
The earth cries out:
who will bend an ear?

Dust blows across the ground
where crops once flourished.
The earth cries out:
who will bend an ear?

Poisons and pollution
fill land, sea and sky.
The earth cries out:
who will bend an ear?

Species are wiped away,
man the worst for it.
The earth cries out:
who will bend an ear?
