In every outthrust headland, in every curving beach, in every grain of sand there is the story of the earth. -Rachel Carson


The snow melting slowly from the peaks

A future that already looks very bleak

As the pollution goes into the sky 

Right where birds used to fly

In the place that we all used to

Call our sanctuary from the world


Forests burning from worse drought

Icicles forming in the south

Situations worsening, a place on fire

People still don't think that it's dire

Even as nature slowly disappears 

Right in front of our eyes


Gifted a forest of opportunity

We decided that it was just lumber

Naive to think that winter stays forever

When we let all the snow melt

Sitting back and doing nothing to help

Ignoring each and every crying sound


We let the world fall apart

Did nothing and made it worse

Decided to ignore all the charts

As the perfect world we once had

Became worse and irreversible

We continued to tear the world apart


The honest truth is that

There was just no time

To say a final goodbye

As the fire we started

Consumed the earth and

Burned us to the ground
