Keep Our Garden Green Lyrics © Keeli belongs to the following groups:

WMG

As I observed what we’ve achieved
It suddenly occurred to me
Things just aren’t the way they should be

The Oak on Center Avenue
Became a penthouse with a view
Now all the other oaks are far and few

Every generation hands the world to the next
It’s their obligation to give back the very best

Our fathers’ fathers planted seeds
To grow the things that we would need
We forgot to keep our garden green

The rain won’t fall without the trees
We can’t clean the air we breath
We’ve been taking much more than we leave

Every generation hands the world to the next
It’s their obligation to give back the very best

What’s in store for all man kind
if we don’t change stop waisting time
Green is more than just a state of mind

Our fathers’ fathers planted seeds
To grow the things that we would need
We forgot to keep our garden green

    Heard the song & felt bad for the world for all the transgresses we’ve made to her. She deserves more because she’s our mother after all.
