Forgetting the consequences of going too far

We are human beings, so powerful and free

But our actions are destroying the nature we see

We take and take without a second thought

Ignoring the damage we have wrought

 

We're cutting down trees and polluting the seas

Killing creatures great and small with ease

We're ravaging the earth, leaving it scarred

Forgetting the consequences of going too far

 

Our greed knows no bounds, we always want more

Never considering what we're taking things for

We build and build, without a care

Leaving a trail of destruction everywhere

 

We're cutting down trees and polluting the seas

Killing creatures great and small with ease

We're ravaging the earth, leaving it scarred

Forgetting the consequences of going too far

 

The air we breathe is tainted with smoke

From factories and cars that we invoke

We've altered the climate, changing the seasons

Ignoring the warnings, and committing treasons

 

We're cutting down trees and polluting the seas

Killing creatures great and small with ease

We're ravaging the earth, leaving it scarred

Forgetting the consequences of going too far

 

The oceans are filling up with plastic waste

Our selfishness and apathy we must replace

We must protect the earth, it's our duty and right

Or we'll face the consequences, without a fight

 

We're cutting down trees and polluting the seas

Killing creatures great and small with ease

We're ravaging the earth, leaving it scarred

Forgetting the consequences of going too far
