Letra da Música Step Lightly de Mike Love

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

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

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

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

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

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
