"Of The Earth" lyrics

If we keep going
At the rate we going
If we keep going
At the rate we going
This whole world is gonna change (If we keep going)
Everything will seem so strange (At the rate we going)
Rivers and trees and blue skies (If we keep going)
Are gonna fade and just be memories (At the rate we going)

It's time we start thinking about the way we live
Quit abusing the air we breathe
And everybody should become aware
That we are children of the earth
Of the earth, of the earth

Flowers will bloom (If we let them)
We'll see a brighter day
And know that there is hope
We are children of the earth

If we keep going
At the rate we going
If we keep going
At the rate we going
Young people gonna be fighting the wars (If we keep going)
Around the world and in our streets (At the rate we going)
Many good men gonna be cut down (If we keep going)
Never to know, never to know the reason why (At the rate we going)

We've got to learn to keep the peace
And work to reconciliate
Grow enough food to feed all the people
And not exploit the earth for profits sake
Of the earth, of the earth

Children will learn (If we let them)
That war will scorch the earth
And everyone will lose

We are children of the earth, we are children of the earth
We are children of the earth, we are children of the earth
We are children of the earth, we are children of the earth
