Environmental Children Of The Future

from Hallowed Ground by I See Hawks in L.A.

/

about

A song misunderstood by a few critics who couldn't handle our more delicate side, and the line between whimsy and serious that we tend to ride. It did predict the near future, however, so smoke on that one, critics!

lyrics

ENVIRONMENTAL CHILDREN OF THE FUTURE

The environmental children of the future
Are making green plans for tomorrow
The environmental children of the future
Don’t need to steal or borrow
From their grandchildren’s rain
From their grandchildren’s sun
From their grandchildren’s mountain
The way that we have done

The environmental children of the future
Yeah, yeah, yeah
The environmental children of the future
Yeah, yeah, yeah

There’s a willowy lass who was first in her class
At the architecture school in the city
With recycled materials she built towers filled with dreams
Built on the pattern of a spinning falling leaf
After graduation she moved away to Maine
She’s building hay bale shelters in the cold October rain

CHORUS


Well the hundred year floods came in September
Then the hundred year floods came in November
And the hurricanes and flames came down on the plains
And the children of the future said “remember!”



The environmental children of the future
Took their elders by the hand
They said the earth is a self-regulating organism
Let me help you understand
And the willowy lass lay down on the grass
Shedding tears for the Great Barrier Reef
And the sky overhead was her feathery bed
Floating freely like a spinning falling leaf

CHORUS
