The sun beats down on the African plain
Where the long rains are late again
Waterholes are cracked and dry
And theres not a raincloud in the sky
A new child cries as an old man dies
And the circle of life goes on
A new child cries as the planet dies
And the circle of life is undone
CHORUS
Cmon everybody, it isnt too late
As long as we dont procrastinate
Lets give Mother Nature a helping hand
C'mon, c'mon
Cmon everybody, it isnt too late
As long as we dont procrastinate
And shell repair our wonderland
C'mon, c'mon
The Amazon rain forests go up in smoke
The lungs of our planet are choked
East and West are racing to space
When they should be repairing this place
Wild fires and floods and oceans depleted
Cause and effect still debated
Governments fiddle as mother earth burns
Actions would speak much louder than words
CHORUS
Cmon everybody, it isnt too late
As long as we dont procrastinate
Lets give Mother Nature a helping hand
C'mon, c'mon
Cmon everybody, it isnt too late
As long as we dont procrastinate
And shell repair our wonderland
C'mon, c'mon
