Laat Ons Een Bloem

This is a song for the folks who care
That tomorrow the folks will all be dead
This is a song for the dead of tomorrow
Buried, casketed in a stone desert

refrain:
Let us plant a flower
And some grass that's still green
Let us plant a tree
And the view of the sea
Forget for once
How much money a million is
The world still has an eternity to go

You break and you chop and you drill through the mountains
You level every hill to the ground
The giants of today will seem like dwarfs tomorrow
Progress destroys what stood yesterday

refrain

The fish in the seas poisoned, dead
The sand on the beaches polluted by oil
And you, corrupted by your tankers and checkbook
You don't even know where the seagull has nested

refrain

And so tomorrow life will disappear
Defeated by steel and armed concrete
The moon will shine cold on your nightmare
No one will know how the end began

refrain

The world still has an eternity to go
An eternity to go
An eternity to go
An eternity to go
An eternity to go
An eternity to go
An eternity to go
An eternity to go
