Seen

I've seen fire and I've seen rain

I've seen things I never want to see again

I've seen glowing green mountains

Fall in fierce red pain

But I know, I'll see green again



I never want to see

When I walk down the coast

An oil blackened sea

With a dying bird on a post

I want to see

Blue-white waves

Washing clean the shores

And birds able to fly overhead



I've seen fire and I've seen rain

I've seen things I never want to see again

I've seen glowing green mountains

Fall in fierce red pain

But I know, I'll see green again



I never want to see polar bears dying

Standing on icebergs a-melting

Hunting grounds disappearing

Young being left alone

I want to see polar bears thriving

Icebergs spanning miles

And young being over fed



I've seen fire and I've seen rain

I've seen things I never want to see again

I've see glowing green mountains

Fall to fierce red pain

But I know, I'll see green again
