We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children
"We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors,
we borrow it from our children"[/font][/font] (1)
Earth of life, earth of our children
Please forgive us for having taken
All your wealth for stupid use
Hope they'll be able to reduce
Trash we have quickly created
By our greed to be consumed
Earth of life, earth of our children
Forgive us for your future uncertain[/font]
