Say a prayer for mother earth
Hope that things don't get much worse
Though I know you say you try
I lift my head up to the sky

As the sky fills up with smoke
And our rivers slowly choke
You know it's all in our hand
It's the legacy of man

You know I see the desert sand
Drifting on our forest lands
When tomorrows yesterday
What will the people say

As the sky fills up with smoke
And our rivers slowly choke
You know it's all in our hand
It's the legacy of man
Man, man, man, man

When tomorrows yesterday
What will the people say
Though I know you say you try
I lift my head up to the cry

As the sky fills up with smoke
And our rivers slowly choke
You know it's all in our hand
It's the legacy of man
Man, man, man, man
