Will they know about Florida’s freshwater springs The most on earth and home to Manatees Will they know about life on a coral reef Or find a Starfish on the beach Will they know the Gulf of Mexico Powder white sand like fresh fallen snow Oh, what will they know? Will they get to cruise the SkyLIne Drive Will the Rocky Mountains get em high Will they know the depth of the Rio Grande Or the Painted Desert’s turquoise sand Will they see a tree 1,000 years tall Or the color of the leaves in fall Will the seasons even change at all? All they’ll know is what we leave behind We promised them a future Then we robbed em blind The time is now, it’s all on us To fix the things we’ve done We owe it to our children And all of theirs to come Will they know about the Everglades Our right to clean water that nature gave Will they know the joy of love in spring Or smell the flowers that it brings Will they get to spend the day outside Ot turn the AC down and hide Knowing there’s not much out there to find? Will they understand that we always knew All the harm fossil fuels would do Will they know we had a choice Will they know who raised their voice What will they know? Will they understand that we always knew All the harm fossil fuels would do Will they know we had a choice Will they know who raised their voice What will they know? All they’ll know is what we leave behind We promised them a future Then we robbed em blind The time is now, it’s all on us To fix the things we’ve done We owe it to our children And all of theirs to come And all of theirs to come
