If I could bring the planet Earth, back to its natural beauty
If I could sing its praise, and make the world assume its duty

If I could make the industries clean up their foul pollution
Our air, our water, would be clean, and would be the solution
If I could force our corporations to help clean up our planet

If I’d ignore excuses made, and tell them all to “can it”
If I could see that everyone would pick up all the mess
I’d absolutely find the world more clean than one could guess
If I could stop the tankers from spewing oil into our water

If I could stop our wildlife from exposure to this slaughter
If I could stop the shale polluting poison from their mine
I’d also stop pollution, in all coal mines down the line

If I could make the whole world see the havoc that it causes
If I could make it see pollution growing, with no pauses
If I could make all factories stop fouling up our air
Then I would know I moved the world to show that it does care

I know that this won’t happen fast, I know it takes a while
I know that once it happens, then the Earth will surely smile
I know that once our planet is a fresh and lovely clean
I know we’ll all rejoice to see at last we have gone green
