The power to change

The power to change

What have we done?

What have we done?

Destroyed our natural habitat
Abandoned our planet
Made so many mistakes
Altered our children's world
Gambled with it
Earned so much money but
Darkened our future

Elijah

Looked for innovative solutions
Imagined ways to live better
Solved some environmental issues
Tried to treat our planet better
Envisioned our future
Not done enough though
Expected a brighter picture
Decided to take action
