What is your favourite "Song for the Environment?"?

My all time favourite song about the environment is by Tom Paxton - called "Whose Garden Was This" - he wrote it over 30 years ago and it still brings tears to my eyes because it is so relevant today.



Here are just a few lines...



Whose garden was this

It must have been lovely

Did it have flowers

I've seen pictures of flowers

And I'd love to have smelled one.

Whose grey sky was this

Or was it a blue one

Nights there were breezes

I've heard records of breezes

and I'd love to have felt one...



What is the a song that does it for you and remind you of just what a mess we are making ouf our planet and perhaps inspiring you to do something about it.

Mother, please forgive them,

For they know not what they do

Looking back in history's books,

It seems it's nothing new

Oh, let my Mother live...

Endangered species caged in fright

Shot in cold blood, no chance to fight

The stage is set, now pay the price

An ego boost, don't think twice

Technology, the battle's unfair

You pull the hammer without a care

Squeeze the trigger that makes you Man

Pseudo-safari, the hunt is canned

The hunt is canned

CHORUS

All are gone, all but one

No contest, nowhere to run

No more left, only one

This is it, thisis the countdown to extinction

Tell the truth, you wouldn't dare

The skin and trophy oh so rare

Silence speaks louder than words

Ignore the guilt and take your turn

Liars anagram is "lairs"

Man you were never even there

Killed a few feet from the cages

Point blank, you're so courageous

So courageous

CHORUS

One hour from now

Another species of life form

Will disappear off the face of the planet forever

And the rate is accelerating

CHORUS



Endangered Species - Sepultura



Life !!

The struggle to survive

Crawling, ragin

Feed the hate inside



Are we going to see another day ?

Are we going to make it all the way ?

Are we going to see the light of day ?

Are we going to make it till the end ?



Rise !!

Bad moon rise

Another war, another crime

End in sight



Bleak !!

Why %26amp; what the **** ?!?

Shut your mouth, shut your mind, this the way

You're just another prey



Is that what we've became ??



RISE ! [8x]



Are we going to see another day ?

Are we going to make it all the way ?

Are we going to see the light of day ?

Are we going to make it till the end ?



Endangered Species [3 x]

Is that what we've became ??
