     There are people in this world 
     Who can’t appreciate 
     The wondrous beauty of nature 
     For they must recreate 

     Everything must be made 
     By the human hand 
     And nothing can be done 
     To protect our only land 

     They don’t believe in natural 
     And it’s really such a shame 
     Such a waste of resources 
     To have more complicated names 

     And when our life is over 
     The knowledge will simply pass 
     Down to the younger ones 
     And they will know more than the last 

     In the end I wonder 
     Will they ever see 
     Those precious things of jewelry 
     Mean nothing more to me 

     The treasure that is certain 
     Is our very world 
     And trying to protect it 
     Is this lonely girl
