Chances come and when they're gone
They curse the fools who wait to long
So let's take care of what we have
Before the good we know goes bad
And the beauty fades and just slips away
The dirty air, the dying seas
Will this be the wold we leave
To the wild and young
I say, just look at what we've done
And right before your eyes
Today's yesterday
Will be tomorrows goodbye
Here comes the rain
And it might wash her tears away
But it doesn't change a thing
Like my brother before me
All I can do is write this song
And for her I sing
Chances come and when they're gone
The carve in stone what we've done wrong
So let's take care of what we have
Before the good we know goes bad
And the beauty fades and just slips away
The dirty air, the dying seas
Will this be the wold we leave
To the wild and young
I say, just look at what we've done
And right before your eyes
Will be tomorrows goodbye
Do you ever think about
The future or the past
Do you ever wonder
How long this world will last
So let's take care of what we have
Before the good we know goes bad
And the beauty fades and just slips away
The dirty air, the dying seas
Will this be the wold we leave
To the wild and young
I say, just look at what we've done
And right before your eyes
Will be tomorrows goodbye
