Our Earth Was Once Green Lyrics - Runrig

Across the skies the monuments stand 

Shrines of wonder, man worshipping man 

Computer ethics mock a dying land 

Down below like rats in a cage 

Success, survival, two needles in hay 

It's Romans One facing satan's stare 

Pull down the forests we need more wood 

Extend the grazing we need more food 

Burning our bridges before the flood

Every Lyric From Shawn Mendes' Self-Titled New Album 

Every Lyric From Keith Urban's New Album 'Graffiti U' 

Out on the oceans where it's relatively safe 

It's not so easy being big as a whale 

We're all in a race on a bigger scale 

Homosapien, I've had enough 

Homosapien, I'm giving up 

At best your wisdom's a shot in the dark 

So make yourself pretty, make yourself rich 

Leopardskin, sealskin, money and sex 

Apartheid, genocide, thalidomide, life 

It's your choice 

Photos 

But mountains 

Are holy places 

And beauty is free 

We can still walk 

Through the garden 

Our earth was once green
