Someone Somewhere
Car exhaust smells in the air
Fumes invade the thoroughfare
Kids in pushchairs cough and wheeze
Acid rain falls in the breeze
But someone, somewhere's on their knees
Someone somewhere's planting trees
Coke cans twisted on the grass
Cigarette packs, broken glass
We are the earth's worst enemies
Spreading squalor and disease
But someone, somewhere's on their knees
Someone somewhere's planting trees
War and famine kill the child
When was the last time that she smiled?
Answer questions such as these
The eternal verities
But someone, somewhere's on their knees
Someone somewhere's planting trees
Somewhere in a far off place
There's no name and there's no face
There's no reward for such as these
There's no money. There's no fees
But someone, some where's on their knees
Someone some where's planting trees
And so with hand held on your heart
Say that you have played your part?
Saving token territories
Is just a gesture to appease
Be someone somewhere on your knees
Be someone somewhere planting trees
