Hard times behind us 
Hard times ahead 
It's a miracle we're still living 
It's a wonder we ain't dead 
I read it in the paper 
Heard it on the news 
This old world's in trouble 
People, we're all chased by the blues 
The planet still keeps turning 
Draws a circle 'round the sun 
Seasons come and seasons go 
What's been done 
Can't be made undone 
Mother earth is bleeding 
She got scars upon her face 
She gave us what we needed 
We left her in disgrace 
Tore away her skin 
Dug down into her soul 
Mister Greed keeps digging 
He's digging far too low 
The planet still keeps turning 
Draws a circle 'round the sun 
Seasons come and seasons go 
What's been done 
Can't be made undone 
Fires of hate are burning 
They're burning everywhere 
Man mistreats his fellow-men 
We turn our head, don't seem to care 
But one day before long 
We got to change our ways 
Start living like we're meant to 
Rainbow race 
The planet still keeps turning 
Draws a circle 'round the sun 
Seasons come and seasons go 
What's been done 
Can't be made undone
