Chris Gabriel Price - Love of Green (Demo) Lyrics

We were all sitting beneath what used to be the green land
Of the neighborhood
Legs crossed, we were hoping after dawn we could stay here
And when dawn came, we sat and prayed that the sun would go back hidden
But by that time it was too late
They already came - to push the green away
With a dozen trucks - on the side

For the love of green, they push green away
For the love of green, they push green away
For the love of green

There stood Junebug and me, watching tenderly has [our] history fades
Juxtaposed with Leslie's tear drenched woes not to take it away
I cannot forget what should been an otherwise beautiful day
Or what he said to me
"The city needs life, but all these trees stand in the way of a good day"

For the love of green, they push green away
For the love of green, they push green away
For the love of green

I am no hero, I'm no Captain Planet
I lack the strength to build my own earth
But with what I possess
I know I'll do my best - for the one that we've got
That we've got

For the love of green, they push green away
For the love of green, they push green away
For the love of green
