Step Lightly |
I’m choking there’s no air to breathe, all these chemicals are poisoning me |
I feel like I ain’t got no space, I got to get out of this place |
'Cause everybody’s moving to fast, all I want to do is relax |
I don’t want no heart attack, don’t wanna work 'til I break my back no |
I don’t wanna see no more construction, to me it looks just like destruction |
Just want to protect Her and all She’s done, She has provided for everyone so |
Step lightly, you are trodding on sacred ground |
Step lightly, there is beauty to be found, look all around |
Step lightly, for you don’t wanna leave a scar |
Step lightly, or for your children this will be no more |
The buildings just keep getting taller, open spaces dem a getting smaller |
They’re building more universities, and destroying diversity |
But where will all the little animals run, to find shelter from the burning sun |
If we let them cut down all the trees, and spread their industrial disease |
Have they heard the ocean so deep, or witnessed the waterfalls weep |
Do you think that they could be so blind, to bring the end of humankind |
Oh Mama, I see that You’re bleeding |
Oh Mama, I feel Your pain in my soul |
Mama I will do my best to teach them |
Mama not to hurt You so |
I see them use You, see every day how they abuse You |
Oh Lord how they break You, see every day how they rape You |
Step lightly, you are trodding on sacred ground |
Step lightly, there is beauty to be found, look all around |
Step lightly, for you don’t wanna leave a scar |
Step lightly, or for your children this will be no more |
They’re cutting down the forests, filling up the landfills |
Blackening the skyline, choking out the sun |
'Til there’s nothing left but garbage, steel, concrete and sorrow |
People this doesn’t have to be our tomorrow |
If you listen closely, you will hear Her crying |
Do you even care that She is slowly dying |
We got to make a change now, if not for yourself then do it for your children |
Who can deny that things have been getting so strange around here |
And who can deny that it’s been getting harder and harder to breathe |
And who can deny that the species have been disappearing by the dozens, daily |
And who can deny that it’s been getting hotter and colder and hotter and colder |
every year |
They’re sucking the blood of the Earth |
They’re scratching at the heart of Mama Earth |
They’re fracturing the body of Mama Earth |
They’re sucking the blood of the Earth |
And we all play a part in their plan |
We all play a part, overstand |
We all let them lead us by the hand |
And watch as they destroy our homeland, our Motherland |
And who will stand with me and fight |
