Before It's Too Late

We hear the crisp crunch beneath our feet

It’s fun, we think, for we were “just young”

We didn’t know what was happening to the world around us

We climb trees as if we were monkeys to look cool in front of our friends

It’s fun, we think, for we were “just young”

We didn’t know the effect on the world around us

When we were first introduced to how the environment was dying, like on life support, we didn’t care

It’s still fun, we think, for we were “just young”

But we knew what was happening to the world around us

But as the grass loses its green

And the trees lose their leaves

We realise what we’ve done wrong

It's not fun anymore, for we weren’t “just young”

We finally realised what was happening to the world around us but…

it was too late

The world was gone
