mike love (reggae) - step lightly lyrics

[verse 1]
i’m choking there’s no air to breathe, all these chemicals are poisoning me
i feel like i ain’t got no space, i got to get out of this place
’cause everybody’s moving to fast, all i want to do is relax
i don’t want no heart attack, don’t wanna work ’til i break my back no
i don’t wanna see no more construction, to me it looks just like destruction
just want to protect her and all she’s done, she has provided for everyone so

[chorus]
step lightly, you are trodding on sacred ground
step lightly, there is beauty to be found, look all around
step lightly, for you don’t wanna leave a scar
step lightly, or for your children this will be no more

[verse 2]
the buildings just keep getting taller, open spaces dem a getting smaller
they’re building more universities, and destroying diversity
but where will all the little animals run, to find shelter from the burning sun
if we let them cut down all the trees, and spread their industrial disease
have they heard the ocean so deep, or witnessed the waterfalls weep
do you think that they could be so blind, to bring the end of humankind

oh mama, i see that you’re bleeding
oh mama, i feel your pain in my soul
mama i will do my best to teach them
mama not to hurt you so
i see them use you, see every day how they abuse you
oh lord how they break you, see every day how they rape you

[verse 3]
they’re cutting down the forests, filling up the landfills
blackening the skyline, choking out the sun
’til there’s nothing left but garbage, steel, concrete and sorrow
people this doesn’t have to be our tomorrow
if you listen closely, you will hear her crying
do you even care that she is slowly dying
we got to make a change now, if not for yourself then do it for your children

[verse 4]
who can deny that things have been getting so strange around here
and who can deny that it’s been getting harder and harder to breathe
and who can deny that the species have been disappearing by the dozens, daily
and who can deny that it’s been getting hotter and colder and hotter and colder every year
they’re sucking the blood of the earth
they’re scratching at the heart of mama earth
they’re fracturing the body of mama earth
they’re sucking the blood of the earth
and we all play a part in their plan
we all play a part, overstand
we all let them lead us by the hand
and watch as they destroy our homeland, our motherland
and who will stand with me and fight
