Circle of life

Saltyjohn

The sun beats down on the African plain
Where the long rains are late again
Waterholes are cracked and dry
And there’s not a raincloud in the sky

A new child cries as an old man dies
And the circle of life goes on
A new child cries as the planet dies
And the circle of life is undone

The vast rain forests go up in smoke
The lungs of our planet are choked
East and West are racing to space
When they should be repairing this place

A new child cries as an old man dies
And the circle of life goes on
A new child cries as the planet dies
And the circle of life is undone

Wild fires and floods and oceans depleted
Cause and effect still debated
Governments fiddle as mother earth burns
Actions would speak much louder than words

A new child cries as an old man dies
And the circle of life goes on
A new child cries as the planet dies
And the circle of life is undone

C’mon everybody, it isn’t too late
As long as we don’t procrastinate
Let’s give Mother Nature a helping hand
And she’ll repair our wonderland

A new child cries as an old man dies
And the circle of life goes on
A new child cries as the planet dies
And the circle of life is undone

An appeal for the planet. My lyrics, ai demo.
