How long have I slept
In deep slumber, cold as death
How long have I slept
Under the earth, warm as a hearth

Time has gone by
And will never return
But with all our power
We will never learn

Learn to cherish
Learn to protect
And teach how to heal
Not just how to hurt

Nature is calling
But no one listens
The wild is in pain
But no one cares

And we keep on burning
And destroying ourselves
Cutting down trees
Because we will never learn

Learn to love things
That grow wild
And learn to save the things
That keep us alive.
