Verse - same as other Verses -:
There is a forest I loved
Where the air was fresh and clean
We took the forest for a factory
So we could build some more machines
Verse - same as other Verses -:
When I was young I learned to sing
And music blossomed in my soul
We took the music from the schools
And left the darkest, gaping holes.

Where will our children be?
Em Bm D Em
If they don't learn to see?
Em Bm D Em
Millions of voices falling silent til' they're gone
