Short Supply
Where are
The sunny days
The blue skies
The flowers for the children
The colors for their eyes?
Don't you see?
Don't you see?
All these things now days
Come in short supply
It's time that we
It's time that we
Make a space in our hearts and
Open our eyes
Where are
All the sandy beaches
Fishes in the sea
Birds to sing for daybreak
Where are all the trees?
Don't you see?
Don't you see?
All these things now days
Come in short supply
It's time that we
It's time that we
Make a space in our hearts and
Open our eyes
Where are
All the grassy hilltops
Clean air to breathe
Pure water to drink of
Beautiful sights to see?
Don't you see?
Don't you see?
All these things now days
Come in short supply
It's time that we
It's time that we
Make a space in our hearts and
Open our eyes
There'll be no more you
There'll be no more me
There'll be no more children
All we know will cease to be
Don't you see?
Don't you see?
The things of this earth
Keep us alive
It's time that we
It's time that we
Make a space in our hearts and
Open our eyes
Where are
The sunny days
Blue skies
Flowers for the children
All the colors for their eyes
All the sandy beaches
Fishes in the sea
All the birds to sing for daybreak?
Where are, where are
Where are all the trees?
Don't you see
All these things they
Come in short supply
Oh, now, it's time that we
Make a space inside our hearts and
Open our eyes
Time to open up our eyes
Make a space inside our hearts
It's time we opened up our eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
The sunny days
The blue skies
The flowers for the children
The colors for their eyes?
Don't you see?
Don't you see?
All these things now days
Come in short supply
It's time that we
It's time that we
Make a space in our hearts and
Open our eyes
Where are
All the sandy beaches
Fishes in the sea
Birds to sing for daybreak
Where are all the trees?
Don't you see?
Don't you see?
All these things now days
Come in short supply
It's time that we
It's time that we
Make a space in our hearts and
Open our eyes
Where are
All the grassy hilltops
Clean air to breathe
Pure water to drink of
Beautiful sights to see?
Don't you see?
Don't you see?
All these things now days
Come in short supply
It's time that we
It's time that we
Make a space in our hearts and
Open our eyes
There'll be no more you
There'll be no more me
There'll be no more children
All we know will cease to be
Don't you see?
Don't you see?
The things of this earth
Keep us alive
It's time that we
It's time that we
Make a space in our hearts and
Open our eyes
Where are
The sunny days
Blue skies
Flowers for the children
All the colors for their eyes
All the sandy beaches
Fishes in the sea
All the birds to sing for daybreak?
Where are, where are
Where are all the trees?
Don't you see
All these things they
Come in short supply
Oh, now, it's time that we
Make a space inside our hearts and
Open our eyes
Time to open up our eyes
Make a space inside our hearts
It's time we opened up our eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
