Hope things get better for the earth and the trees
Save the air from our toxins and the water from a freeze
But don't sit back, everything won't be just fine
Save from becoming deadly, our sweet sunshine
But someday you'll understand
That it's not just our land
Pass it on to our children's hands
Someday you'll understand
The air we breathe and the water that we drink
Does the burning Bush ever stop to think
About the future, about the past
He'll be dead in 20 years but will our infants last
But someday you'll understand
That it's not just our land
Pass it on to our children's hands
Someday you'll understand
Go to the mountains and lie on the grass
Fall asleep in the sunshine, let the sweet time pass
Then maybe you'll understand what we're trying to save
We wanna leave our kids a beautiful world, not dig their graves
But someday you'll understand
That it's not just our land
Pass it on to our children's hands
Someday you'll understand
Hope things get better for the earth and the trees
Save the air from our toxins and the water from a freeze
Then maybe you'll understand what we're trying to save
We wanna leave our kids a beautiful world, not dig their graves
But someday you'll understand
That it's not just our land
Pass it on to our children's hands
Someday you'll understand
Green trees and white sand
Pass them on to our children's hands
Someday you'll understand
Someday you'll understand
