Then You'll Know

“Only when the last tree has been cut down, the last fish been caught, and the last stream poisoned, will we realize we cannot eat money.”  ― Native American Proverb 

When the last tree is cut down low  / And the last field lay barren and forlorn / Then you'll know / Then you'll know  / You can't eat money.  // When the last fish is nothing but bones  / Once the seven seas can't feed a soul  / Then you'll know  / Then you'll know / You can't eat money.  // Our earth, a paradise  / Forsaken for silver and gold  / By those who heed no wisdom  / And fear no price / But the price is our home.  // When the last stream is poisoned and choked / And the time has come to reap what's been sewn.  / Then you'll know  / Then you'll know / You can't eat money.  / Our earth, a paradise  / Forsaken for silver and gold  / By those who heed no wisdom  / And fear no price / But the price is our home.
