This Place |
| Sparkle on the ocean |
| Eagle at the top of a tree |
| Those crazy crows always making a commotion |
| This land is home to me |
| I was talking to my neighbor |
| He said, «When I get to heaven, if it is not like this |
| I’ll just hop a cloud and I’m coming right back down here |
| Back to this heavenly bliss.» |
| You see those lovely hills |
| They won’t be there for long |
| They’re gonna tear 'em down |
| And sell them to California |
| Here come the toxic spills |
| Miners poking all around |
| When this place looks like a moonscape |
| Don’t say I didn’t warn ya… |
| Money, money, money… |
| Money makes the trees come down |
| It makes mountains into molehills |
| Big money kicks the wide wide world around |
| Black bear in the orchard |
| At night he’s in my garbage cans |
| He’s getting so bold but no one wants to shoot him |
| He’s got a right to roam this land |
| I feel like Geronimo |
| I used to be as trusting as Cochise |
| But the white eyes lies |
| He’s out of whack with nature |
| And look how far his weapons reach! |
| Spirit of the water |
| Give us all the courage and the grace |
| To make genius of this tragedy unfolding |
| The genius to save this place |
