Earth

Beborn Beton

A giant cloud up in the sky
The things she saw she hardly could spell
Honey, don't stay too long in the sun, said Mom
And Julia doesn't feel well 
Waters are dying but they're still blue
Blue as they were when the grass hadn't gone
Picking flowers is something I've never done
Because of radiation 

On the day
The day the earth stood still
It's getting dark
So move a little closer
Yesterday
The white powder fell
But the snow didn't melt in the sun
And the summer has gone 

A whole new world has gone astray
People seem never to learn
Mistakes that are made steer us into
A corporate grave - genetic alteration 
Night after night I keep dreaming
Burned out children won't play anymore
Blown away and the wind takes their ashes ashore
Their final destination 

On the day
The day the earth stood still
It's getting dark
So move a little closer
Yesterday
The white powder fell
But the snow didn't melt in the sun
And the summer has gone
