Michael Skotte - The Earth Sighs Lyrics

Wispy clouds hugging the mountain tops
Colors of a rainbow stretching over the sky
Sweet smelling rain lingers then drops
The earth sighs
The earth sighs

Evergreens bend in the autumn breeze
White tips of an eagle soars and flashes on by
Chipmunks scamper chatter then tease
The earth sighs
The earth sighs

Here, he comes with his chain saws
The forest retreats
He comes with his steel diggers
The hilltops bleed
He comes with his golden sheckles
And armies of greed
He prospers while every tree dies
And the earth sighs

Rows of high rises reach up to midair
Blankets of smog stretches over the sky
Dark smelling exhaust everywhere
The earth sighs

Litter scatters in the stale wind
Freeways of cars stall and sputter on by
Screaming sirens blasting in
The earth sighs
The earth sighs

The forest retreats
The hilltops bleed
And the earth sighs
