And by the time, the green is gone 
The air is thick, the water's black 
And what can help us bring it back 
And by the time, the damage's done 
We think about the years to come and wonder 
People ask why? 

When I return in my own home 
I often question the use of things that we all own, 
I guess you will see that what we got, 
We don't need can only lead 2 greed 

People ask why, heaven still cries 
People ask why, heaven still cries 

There was a time we didn't know 
but things were all natural then, 
And if we take a look at the sky 
We see it cryin'

And by the time the green is gone.. 
People ask why heaven still cries 
People ask why heaven still cries
