My heart weeps for you
As death comes knocking on the door
My heart bleeds for you
As I wish you a speedy recovery
I look up to the Almighty
Come and take my helpless hand
Show me how to make things right
As I gaze into your rheumy eyes
While my compatriots chock your lungs
Mercilessly setting your assets on fire
Your wails in half pain of death
I seek your pardon and mercy
Plastics are clogging your oceans
Filling with toxins and contaminators
Lifeless and motionless waters
I seek your pardon and mercy
Years of exploitation and desperation
A monster born of the dead behind me
Hurricanes, wild fires, flash floods, glacier calving
At last you decided for the final battle
A graveyard of life and beauty
Perpetrators running haywire for cover
Nothing more to exploit and destroy
Smoke filled skies and plastic oceans
We watched it idly with casual speeches
No action in place of reaction
Time waits for no one
Yet again I seek your pardon and mercy
Of all that God has shown me
I can just speak the smallest word, HOPE
Tomorrow will be beautiful
For tomorrow comes out of Me and You.
