Blue skies on high no longer clear
Stars were bright whence they came
Now dimmed, obscured, pollution's haze

So let us plant a better seed
Tear out old roots, cultivate, weed

Protect what has been given for free
Our waters, skies, wildlife and trees
For once they're gone, don't you say
Consider yourself warned of that fatal day
