She Might Just Succeed - Ian Duquemin

Trees are brought down... Trees they do fall
And one day there wont be no trees left at all
The forests of future they cannot withstand
The damage we do to this beautiful land
Yet if everyone planted just one little seed
Then our world... She might just succeed

The oil we take... The oil we burn
When we've drained the world dry then I guess we will learn
That oil is not here for profit and wealth
The planet she needs for the good of her health
If we took just a little for the things that we need
Then our world... She might just succeed

The rubbish we bury... The trash that we hide
We take the worlds gifts... put our poisons inside
Where nothing can grow in pollution and mess
A flower can't grow in the soils of distress
If we enrich the grounds from the strangling weed
Then our world... She might just succeed

The wars that are raging... The wars which we fight
Can none of us just get along and unite?
As where is the answer when so many die?
The answers a question that question is Why!
If we stop all the hatred so others don't bleed
Then our world... She might just succeed

Some they have nothing... Some they have all
How can the rich be so ruthless and cruel?
When children are dying with no food in hand
To save them is something they can't understand
If they could only take time from a moment of greed
Then our world... She might just succeed

Now writers and poets who speak with a pen
Our chance is this moment that might not come again
So talk all you will so that others may hear
Or an ending is possibly all that is near
So write with a truth thats not meant to mislead
And our world ... She might just succeed
