Shades of gray

This world of ours, were so full of colors
Sparkling with its green and blue
Life dancing where ever you looked
Before, all around us there was life

We marched, stomped all over it
Like an unknowing child in a spring garden
Because we didn't know better, didn't see
didn't grasp the full length of our actions

All over this living world of ours
We are pouring concrete and asphalt
Steel and glass is dominating the world
transforming it into shades of gray

But fear not for the earth's health
It is fighting back, always finding a way
Puzzling us with it ingenuity
It's will to survive, recover from all disasters

It is us who we should worry about
Destroying ourself, taunting Mother
With our garden stomping
Take care, soon you'll hit her favorite

Then all hell is loose
Striking back so fast
With such a strength
That we are left stunned

Don't save the planet
It will save itself in the end
Save us, from ourself
Before all goes from shades of gray

To stunning darkness..
