Gaia

When the water of the last river runs out
When the leaf of the last tree falls
When the last elephant lies down
When there's nothing left to look at

When the falling rain starts to burn
And the sun becomes our fear
And the air suffocates when we want to breathe
Maybe it's too late to turn back

(Gaia) holy earth that endures this poor animal
(Gaia) that exploits you, devours and destroys where it lives
(Gaia) forgive us because we will only understand
When we lose you

When children no longer become parents
And the cloak and the scythe bring peace
When the same flag kills to eat
Maybe we will start to understand

When green is nothing more than a color
And gray and concrete lose their splendor
When hunger and thirst overcome love
Maybe we will understand your pain

(Gaia) holy earth that endures this poor animal
(Gaia) that exploits you, devours and destroys where it lives
(Gaia) forgive us because we will only understand
When we lose you

And when we lose you
Our children will wonder
Why did we take so long to understand
That your money is not water
Your money is not air
And there is no other planet to buy

When the water of the last river runs out
When the leaf of the last tree falls
When the last elephant lies down
When there's nothing left to look at

When green is nothing more than a color
And gray and concrete lose their splendor
When hunger and thirst overcome love
Maybe we will understand your pain

(Gaia) holy earth that endures this poor animal
(Gaia) that exploits you, devours and destroys where it lives
(Gaia) forgive us because we will only understand
When we lose you
