Growing

Kept in a cage
My life of freedom is ended
So many now dead
My heart remains untamed
You didn't hear what I just said
We've pounded this world flat
But it used to be round
We've made this world cry
Silence the sweetest sound
I can't keep my voice quiet
My heart can't bear the pain
Of knowing
The deserts grow
With every tree torn down
The Arctic is warming
The ice is all melting
The storm is growing
More powerful with our rage
We must wipe out nature
We must pave flat the future
Wiping out forests or fields growing
To build new supermarkets
Or a new housing development
The earth is dying
And still
We are finding ways
To commodify her bones
The voices are lying
Spreading their hate
And Satan is seated
Upon his throne
