CHANGES

An old man took a walk with me along the road the other day
And as he viewed the county round these words I heard him say
For years this place has been my home but now my heart is sore
It hurts so much to see the change - it is my home no more

Chorus
What on earth are they doing to the earth
What on earth are they doing to the earth
I look and don't like what I see
I hanker back to history
I don't like what they're doing to the earth

As a young man I knew fields of green as far as the eye could see
But now its roads and houses where those fields of green should be
No animals are grazing there - no birds up in the air
They tell me that its progress - that its happening everywhere

No field , no flower, no bird, no beast - just an empty barren land
No future for your children unless you make a stand
Remember the importance of the freedoms that I knew
Make childhood be a joy for all - not just the lucky few
