Until It's Gone

Buildings will replace the trees

Pollution will replace the air we breathe

I'm close to the mountain, 15 miles away

But I can't see the hills from here today

We can't just let it pass us by

And as I look into the sky

Something in the atmosphere

Is telling me won't be here for long

Take a picture of this place

Cause extinction is not so far away

Our skin will fry like a steak well done

When there's nothing between us and the sun

Until it's gone, until it's gone, until it's gone

We'll never miss it until it's gone

All the efforts seem to fail

With cars and cans of aerosol

I feel so guilty, then my pride will diewhen

I see the gray, self-created sky

Until we find a better way

We'll have to learn from all our big mistakes

Something in the atmosphere

Is telling me it won't be here for long

Seems like a letter that we cannot send

Fells like aluminum we cannot bend

Tastes like a mixture that we cannot blend

But we must change the course,

Of the recipe to the end
