Where are the sunny days?
The blue sky?
The flowers for the children?
The colors for their eyes?
Don't you see, don't you see
All these things now that's 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 that sing for daybreak
Where are all the trees?
Don't you see? Don't you see?
All these things now just 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 just 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 that sing for daybreak?
Where, where, where are all the dreams?
Don't you see?
All these things are come in short supply
All that's tryin' to do is
Make us face inside our hearts and open our eyes
Time will open up our eyes
Make a space inside our hearts
It's time we opened up our eyes
Opened up your eyes
