Captain T (Tom Hunnicutt): Music

THE ENVIRONMENTALIST
By Tom Hunnicutt

1st Verse

Come walk with me brother and sister,
There’s something that you ought to see.
It was left here by the others, it now belongs to you and me.
Oh, where have all the trees gone brother,
Why don’t the grass grow no more,
Why are all the skies turning gray, sister?
(Why is all the air smelling bad, sister?) (ending)
Don’t the birds fly there anymore?
(Oh, don’t the people want to live here anymore?)(Ending Tag)

2nd Verse

Go look, go look out your window,
Tell me what you do see?
Are there flowers growing in the meadow, no, no not even weeds.
Oh, where have all the trees gone, brother?
Why don’t the flowers grow no more?
Why is all the water turning dark, sister?
Don’t the fish swim here anymore?

3rd Verse

Come walk with me up in the mountains,
Walk with me down by the sea.
Walk with me through the great cities – look what they left for you and me.
(change out insert)
What’s that you see on the mountains?
What’s that you see down in the sea?
Look what’s happening to the cities!
And they left these things for you and for me.
See erosion on the side of the mountains.
See pollution down there in the sea.
Look at the decaying cities.
Yes, they left these things for you and for me.
