Lyrics
No More Sorrow
And there will be (sorrow)
And there will be no more
And there will be (sorrow)
No sorrow
[Verse]
You listen close, 'cause I wanna tell you something
We're ruining this world of ours and no one's doing nothing
We make plastic waste that won't rot for years to come
Smog that burns our eyes - and blackens out the sun
Squandering our energy - storing nuclear waste
Overfishing of our seven seas leaves a bitter taste
Financial firms define the fate of our economy
We're chopping down our forests - slowly tree by tree
[Chorus]
(And there will be) There'll be no more sorrow
(And there will be) If we just all join hands
(And there will be) Make a brighter tomorrow
(No more) Together we can
(And there will be) There'll be no more sorrow
Cast by the hands of man
(And there will be) Today and tomorrow
(No sorrow) All over this land
[Verse]
We're draining all our swamps and paving fertile land
Beautiful shores are now full of oily sand
Imperiled species fall right before our eyes
In an over-crowded stinkin' world - where they can't survive
Homicidal terrorists and suicidal maniacs
Are no enemies - our soldiers can attack
Weapons of mass destruction are no real gain
When democracy and peace, yo go down the drain
Chorus
[Verse]
Technology can't heal diseases we've set free
Aviation flu and aids and things like BSE
Mother Nature's getting mad she's letting it all out
Tornadoes, hurricanes, flooding, drought
Listen to this song I sing listen to my plea
There're no quick solutions - no sure guarantees
This planet earth that we live on, look at what we've done
We can't imagine or dream of what's still yet to come
[Bridge]
We'll miss the snow - and things that grow
We'll miss the trees - the birds and bees
We'll have to take - the consequences
If we don't come - to global senses
It's not too late - to save this world
It's not that hard - nor too absurd
We'll have to work together - hand in hand
To make this place again - a promising land
Repeat bridge
Chorus
